Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, solid
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Almond milk or any dairy-free milk
- 0.5 cup Jam or fruit preserves of choice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat the solid coconut oil and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Mix in the vanilla extract and almond milk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized pieces of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to gently press an indentation into the center of each cookie ball.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of your chosen jam or fruit preserves.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your dairy-free classic thumbprint cookies with a warm beverage or on their own!
