Vegan Sugar Cookies with Cinnamon & Almond Flour
Description
Vegan Sugar Cookies with Cinnamon & Almond Flour rely on almond flour as the base, combined with brown sugar and cinnamon for a cozy flavor profile. Warm water moistens the mixture into a cohesive dough without eggs or dairy. Rolling the dough balls in a cinnamon-sugar mixture before baking routes a flavorful crust that bakes to a light golden hue, preserving a tender inside.
Baking at 350°F after allowing the dough balls to chill for 30 minutes aids in structure and prevents spreading, resulting in evenly shaped cookies. The finishing cooling step ensures they set properly on a rack while retaining softness.
They are ideal for serving as a snack or alongside tea and store well when kept in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to one week.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour Bob's Red Mill brand
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt sea salt
- 1/4 cup water warm
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Whisk till there are no clumps. Add your warm water and stir till everything is combined. I used a wooden spoon to do this.
- Into a small bowl combine your cinnamon and sugar and stir till combined.
- Roll into balls using a cooking scoop or around 1 1/2 tbsp. Dip into the cinnamon sugar, coat well and place onto a baking sheet. Place balls in the fridge and cool for around 30 minutes before baking at 350F for 15 minutes or until just lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes and then cool completely on a cooling rack.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- Chilling the dough balls before baking helps keep their shape and texture.
