Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated 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
- Rainbow sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the melted coconut oil and granulated sugar until smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the coconut oil mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more almond milk; if too wet, sprinkle in a bit more flour.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently flatten each cookie ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
- Generously sprinkle rainbow sprinkles over the top of each cookie, pressing them lightly into the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure your coconut oil is melted but not hot when mixing to ensure the right cookie texture.
- Chilling the dough is crucial - it helps prevent spreading and makes the cookies easier to handle.
- Use high-quality vegan sprinkles to ensure they're bright and colorful after baking.
- Don't overbake! Remove cookies when edges are just lightly golden for a soft, tender texture.
- For extra festive look, mix different sizes and colors of sprinkles.
- If the dough feels too dry, add almond milk one teaspoon at a time.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing to maintain their crisp texture.
