Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Take small portions of the dough and shape them into balls about the size of a tablespoon. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie as they will spread a little while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake.
- Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
