Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The recipe combines unbleached flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt with vegan sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and water to form a dough enriched with chocolate chips. Baked at 350ºF, the cookies come out slightly crisp at the edges with a chewy interior. The cinnamon adds a comforting spice that complements the chocolate.
Variations allow for chopped nuts to add texture, while spices such as cayenne or ancho chili powder introduce subtle heat. Brown sugar can replace part of the sugar to create softer cookies that may spread more, suggesting a chill before baking. Sprinkling sugar or cinnamon sugar atop the dough before baking adds an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
Additional warming spices like nutmeg or ginger, as well as a pinch of flaky salt, can enhance depth. A small amount of instant coffee offers a gentle boost to the chocolate-cinnamon profile without imparting a coffee taste.
Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup vegan sugar unbleached
- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup of water
- ½ -1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F. Meanwhile, mix together the sugar, coconut (or other type) oil, and vanilla extract. Then add the water, flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Fold in the chocolate chips last and make sure everything forms a nice dough.
- Using a tablespoon, place the rounded dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake each batch for 10-12 minutes, and be careful not to over-bake.
- Allow to cool before removing from the pan and serving.
Notes
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans if available for extra texture and flavor.
- Try a pinch of cayenne or ancho chili powder to complement the chocolate and cinnamon.
- For softer cookies, substitute half sugar with light brown sugar and chill dough before baking to control spreading.
- Sprinkle granulated sugar or cinnamon sugar on top before baking for added crunch and flavor.
- Enhance spice with small amounts of nutmeg, ginger, or a chai blend.
- Top cookies with a tiny sprinkle of flaky salt before baking for depth.
- Add about a teaspoon of instant coffee powder to intensify flavors without tasting like coffee.
