Vegan Snickerdoodle Cookies
This cookie is another ode to my mom. She loves Snickerdoodles and so do I. Not enough people make these. I have never seen these at a bakery, nor have I met anyone else who was as infatuated with them as my mom. These cookies deserve more love and respect! How is the name not cute enough for you people??? If you’ve never had them, they are the snuggliest cookie on Earth. By that I mean, the cinnamon is the warm, familiar blanket, and the dough is the pillow you can peacefully rest upon. A bit poetic, but it’s true! Grab your cocoa, cider, or eggnog because these cookies are best served with PJ’s, a warm drink, and your favorite holiday movie.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup vegan butter (softened)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon flax meal + 3 tablespoons of water)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk
Topping
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
- Mix the sugar into the butter until it is all one grainy, un-melted, soft, paste.
- Add the milk, vanilla extract, and flax egg to your paste.
- Sift all your dry ingredients into a separate bowl then mix together with a whisk or fork.
- Add these dry ingredients a little bit at a time (½ cup increments), to the paste. Incorporating fully before dumping another.
- Roll the dough out on a sheet of parchment paper, to ¼ inch thickness. Transfer the parchment paper over to a cookie sheet and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. You should cover it with another sheet of parchment paper if you are going to allow to chill for more than 1 hour, in order to keep it moist.
- When you’re ready to bake, whisk together cinnamon and sugar for topping and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Now that the dough is cold, form into balls (size of roughly 1 tablespoon), and dip in cinnamon sugar mixture. Place back into fridge if your oven is not fully heated yet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Or until dough no longer looks wet.
