Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (natural gelling agent substitute)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened plant-based butter (plant-based)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup natural brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda (natural gelling agent substitute), salt, and cinnamon (natural) until thoroughly combined. This ensures even distribution of the leavening and spice for every bite.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened plant-based butter (plant-based), granulated sugar, and natural brown sugar until fluffy and light in color. This step incorporates air, resulting in soft cookies.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract (natural): Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract (natural), mixing just until combined for tender dough without overworking.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until a smooth, workable dough forms without over-mixing to keep the texture soft.
  5. Roll dough balls in cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix additional cinnamon (natural) with granulated sugar. Roll spoonfuls of dough into balls, then coat them generously in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  6. Bake to perfection: Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Allow to cool slightly on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use room temperature plant-based butter for better creaming and a soft cookie texture.
  • Do not over-bake; remove cookies just as the edges set to keep them tender inside.
  • Use your hands to evenly roll the dough balls so every bite bursts with cinnamon flavor.
  • Chilling the dough for 15-30 minutes is optional but improves flavor and thickness.
  • Use fresh and aromatic ground cinnamon (natural) for maximum flavor.
