Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to ensure no lumps and create a smooth, even mixture.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a cohesive cookie dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but not too wet.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a uniform thickness, approximately 1/2 inch high.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly firm and the centers look set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Ensure your coconut oil is melted but not hot when mixing to maintain the right dough consistency. • Sifting dry ingredients prevents lumps and creates a smoother, more uniform cookie texture. • For extra richness, consider adding dairy-free chocolate chips to the dough. • Don't overbake! The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. • Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking. • Let cookies cool completely to achieve the perfect chewy-crisp texture. • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and soft texture.
