Nut Butter Cookies

==Ingredients==
* ½ cup light, natural oil (sunflower is best)
* ¾ cup natural nut butter of your choice
* ¾ cup unrefined, brown sugar
* equivalent of 1 egg in egg replacer
* 1 tsp alum-free baking powder
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 2½ cups whole wheat or unbleached white flour
* ¼ tsp sea salt
== Directions ==
# In a large mixing bowl, cream together the light oil, peanut butter and sugar until smooth.
# Add the egg replacer and vanilla extract, and beat well.
# Sift together the baking powder, flour and salt.
# Add it in 3 parts to the peanut butter mixture, stirring with wooden spoon after each addition until well-mixed and all the flour is added.
# Roll the dough in the palms of your hands to create slightly-smaller-than-golf-ball-sized balls.
# (if dough is too sticky, add more flour to the bowl and mix well until it is the correct consistency).
# Place these on an ungreased baking sheet about 3" apart from one another.
# Press the cookies down with a fork, making a cris-cross pattern on the top, only enough to spread them an inch or so out.
# You want them to remain thick so that you'll have a moist inside to them.
# Bake in a 375°F oven for 8–10 minutes.
