Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk (such as almond or soy)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough seems too sticky, you can add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat them completely.
- Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have crinkled and they appear slightly set. They will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
