Melt the vegan butter then let it set to cool slightly while you gather your other ingredients.
Sift together the Plant Based Egg with the flour, baking soda and salt.
In a large mixing bowl combine the slightly cooled melted vegan butter with both sugars, the vanilla extract, soy milk and vanilla extract mix on medium speed for 2 minutes
Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix to combine well
Add the chopped peanuts and mix well
Chill the dough while you preheat the oven to 350°F
Scoop the dough into parchment lined sheet pans spaced at least 2" apart.
Sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar *optional and then press them slightly to flatten
Bake for approximately 18 minutes or until they are golden brown around the edges and no longer raw in the centers
