Vegan Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Vegan Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup vegan sugar (some sugars have animal bone sediments in it)
½ cup sunflower oil
2 tbsp dairy-free milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¼ cup powdered sugar (for coating on top)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F, place parchment paper on a baking sheet then place that aside. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, plant milk, and vanilla until smooth. Next, add baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a spatula until it’s completely combined. Add powdered sugar to a smaller bowl, scoop out a tablespoon size ball of dough and then roll each ball very thoroughly into the powdered sugar. Then place the powdered balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart ( they will spread while baking) *DO NOT PRESS DOWN. Bake for 10-13 minutes. It’s okay if still slightly soft in the center. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack and enjoy!
