Ingredients

Dry:
  • 3/4 cup unbleached white flour or use glutenfree all purpose flour, organic, or spelt flour
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch or arrowroot starch
  • 1/3 cup raw sugar finely ground or any other fine vegan sugar
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
Wet:
  • 2 tsps flaxseed meal
  • 2 Tbsp almond milk
  • 3 Tbsp almond butter I used Justin's classic almond butter
  • 3 Tbsp neutral cooking oil organic canola or virgin coconut, generic cooking oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
Cinnamon coating:
  • 2 Tbsps sugar coarsely ground raw sugar
  • 3 tsps cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients:
  2. In another bowl mix the flaxmeal into the milk. Add the almond butter, oil, vanilla, cinnamon and mix well to combine. It will take a minute or so for the nut butter to mix in. Add this mixture to the dry and mix. Knead to form a stiff dough. The mixture will feel crumbly at first but will come together. If it just doesnt stay together, spray water on it once or twice and knead. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F / 190ºc. Mix 2 tsps cinnamon in 2 Tablespoons sugar in a bowl and put 1 tsp cinnamon in another small plate or bowl. Make an inch to inch and half size balls of the chilled dough. Roll the ball first in cinnamon then in cinnamon sugar. Place on parchment lined sheet. Press down with a fork. Bake for 11-12 minutes. Let cool completely.(5 minutes). The cookies will be soft out of the oven, but will firm up. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Refrigerate dough for an hour to make shaping easier and improve texture.
  • If dough is crumbly, lightly spray with water and knead until it holds together.
  • Cookies are soft when warm but firm up after cooling; store in airtight container.
