Description
Soft and simple dairy-free sugar cookies made with pure maple syrup and coconut oil for a wholesome treat.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
3 tbsp melted coconut oil
1 tbsp almond milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract (preferred)
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Combine the all-purpose flour, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Mix everything together using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, a rubber spatula, or your fingers.
Rub the melted coconut oil into the flour until the dough forms.
Add an extra tablespoon of almond milk if the dough is too dry, or more flour if too wet.
Knead the dough until smooth.
Divide dough into two portions, wrap in plastic, and form into circles.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Line baking sheet with parchment and spray with cooking oil.
Remove dough from fridge, unwrap, and knead briefly if firm.
Roll dough to 0.2 inch thickness on floured surface.
Cut shapes with cookie cutter and place on baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to rack.
Serve plain or decorate as desired.
Notes
Use pure maple syrup for natural sweetness, not pancake syrup.
Adjust almond milk or flour to achieve perfect dough texture.
Watch baking time for preferred cookie softness or crunch.
