Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup plant-based butter, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Start by creaming together the plant-based butter with the sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, ensuring an airy dough that bakes up soft. Next, mix in the plant-based milk and vanilla extract (natural) until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, natural gelling agent, and cinnamon (natural). Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step helps firm the dough for easier rolling and maintains the cookie shape during baking.
- Shape and Coat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Roll the chilled dough into 1 to 1 ½ inch balls. Gently roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Allow cookies to cool slightly on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use room temperature plant-based butter and milk for smooth mixing.
- Chilling the dough prevents cookies from spreading too much and keeps them tender.
- Measure flour by spooning and leveling to avoid dense cookies.
- Freshly ground cinnamon (natural) enhances flavor and aroma.
- Remove cookies early from the oven for soft centers that firm as they cool.
