Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup organic packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegan or dairy butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the vegan or dairy butter with the cane sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon over the rolled dough and carefully roll each dough rectangle into a log.
- Slice the dough into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you’d like to add a touch of sweetness, consider drizzling a simple icing over the cookies once they’ve cooled.
- For a more indulgent version, you can replace almond milk with full-fat dairy milk and the vegan butter with regular butter.
- These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
