Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil or dairy-free butter, softened Choose based on dietary preference.
  • 1/4 cup almond milk or any dairy-free milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt together until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the sugar with the coconut oil until it becomes creamy and light.
  4. Add the egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and mix well until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Baking
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  3. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a bit of flair, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough. If you prefer a crunchier cookie, bake them a minute or two longer until they are golden all over. Ensure your coconut oil or butter is at room temperature for easy mixing. To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
