Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened coconut oil and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat them together until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Add the almond milk to the mixture and continue to beat until fully incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and slightly fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cardamom powder, baking powder, and salt. This will help to evenly distribute the dry ingredients and prevent clumping.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Once all the dough is shaped and placed on the baking sheet, gently flatten each cookie ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass. This will help them spread evenly while baking.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look a little soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, enjoy your delicious vegan cardamom sugar cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips
- • Ensure your coconut oil is softened, not melted, for the perfect cookie texture • Sifting dry ingredients is crucial for smooth, lump-free dough • Don't overmix the dough - this can make your cookies tough • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes • Let cookies cool completely to achieve the ideal crisp-yet-tender texture • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days • For extra flavor, consider dusting with powdered sugar or adding a light cardamom glaze • Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly, so take them out 30 minutes before baking
