Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the vegan butter and peanut butter until smooth.

Beat in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, flour, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

If the dough is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until it is easy to roll into balls.

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.

Roll the balls of dough in the granulated sugar, if desired.

Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
