Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch or Natural Gelling Agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Plant-Based Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar (natural)
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract (natural)
- 1/4 cup Plant-Based Milk
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch or natural gelling agent until fully combined. Set aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer or sturdy spoon, cream the plant-based butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar (natural) until light and fluffy, creating the perfect texture and sweetness.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Mix in the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and pure vanilla extract (natural) into the creamed butter and sugars. Once combined, slowly fold in the dry flour mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon (natural) for the classic Snickerdoodle coating.
- Shape and Coat the Dough: Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Gently roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated. Place them spaced apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake and Cool: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set but centers remain soft. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing.
- Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center.
- If dough is sticky, chill to make rolling easier.
- Coat generously in cinnamon sugar for best flavor.
- Natural gelling agent helps cookies stay tender longer.
