Equipment
- Large cookie sheet
- Parchment paper
- 2 Large mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula
- Medium cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup Whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour
- ¾ tsp Cream of tartar
- ½ tsp Baking soda
- ¾ tsp Ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp Fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil melted and cooled slightly
- 1 Large Egg room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tbsp Unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup Coconut sugar or turbinado sugar
Coating:
- 2 tbsp Coconut sugar or turbinado sugar
- 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg, vanilla, and almond milk. Stir in the sugar.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until the dough is smooth.
- To prepare the coating, mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until completely combined. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop the dough and roll it in a ball. Then, carefully roll the cookie dough back and forth in the coating.
- Repeat with the remaining cookie dough and coating. Gently flatten the cookie dough balls with a spatula or your finger tips.
- Bake at 350°F for 9-11 minutes or until the cookies are slightly golden on the bottom.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- If you prefer crispy cookies over soft and chewy, bake the cookies for 11-13 minutes instead of 9-11.
- Store these cookies in a plastic bag or container at room temp for up to a week.
- The cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap them in wax paper and place them in a ziplock bag or air-tight container. Defrost on the counter or in the fridge when you're ready to eat them.
