Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Coconut oil (softened but not melted)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Non-dairy milk (almond, oat, or soy)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened coconut oil and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the applesauce and vanilla extract to the coconut oil mixture, and mix until well combined.
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. The dough will be slightly crumbly.
Add the non-dairy milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and is soft but not sticky.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your dairy-free sugar cookies plain or decorate them with your favorite icing or sprinkles!
