Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 2 tbsp almond milk (for icing)
- Food coloring (optional)
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 2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of coconut sugar and 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add 1/4 cup of almond milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the coconut sugar and oil mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it feels too dry, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time.
- Once the dough is ready, use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to ensure even baking.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the marble icing. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of almond milk. Mix until smooth and thick, adjusting the consistency with more almond milk or powdered sugar as needed.
- If desired, divide the icing into separate bowls and add food coloring to create different colors for marbling. Use a toothpick or a small knife to swirl the colors together gently.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle or spread the marble icing over the top of each cookie. Allow the icing to set for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious gluten-free vegan sugar cookies with marble icing!
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your gluten-free flour and coconut sugar accurately. Too much flour can lead to dry cookies, while too little can make them too soft.
- Chill the Dough: If your dough feels too sticky, consider chilling it in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes. This will make it easier to handle and shape.
- Use Parchment Paper: Always line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center when you take them out.
- Customize Your Icing: Feel free to experiment with different food colorings for the marble icing. You can create unique designs to match any occasion or holiday.
- Let Them Cool Completely: Make sure your cookies cool completely before icing them. This will help the icing set properly and prevent it from melting off.
- Store Properly: Keep your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.Enjoy your baking adventure and the delicious results of these delightful cookies!
