I NEED COOKIES! Okay, well, I don’t need them, it’s more of a want. Actually, I don’t even want them, I just want to make them. I know, I’m an odd one.
So how do you make a good sugar cookie without eggs or butter? Impossible right? I thought so too. I have a perfect recipe but I need to tweak it a little bit so that I can use cookie cutters on it. As far as plain old circle, buttery, fluffy sugar cookies though. This one is awesome!
What do I need?
- 3 cups of AP flour
- 1 cup room temperature coconut oil
- liquid from one can of white beans (garbanzo, pinto, cantellini beans)
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1.5 tsp of vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
How do I do this?
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Cream coconut oil and sugar together
- Add vanilla extract and bean liquid to the sugar and coconut oil mix
- In a separate bowl, mix together the powdered ingredients
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients 1/3 at a time
- Mix thoroughly
- Separate evenly (or don’t, who cares unless you are trying to impress someone) and shape into balls. Flatten them with your hands slightly and add to a baking sheet. I like to preheat my sheet while the oven is heating up. Look at picture for how I have mine flattened.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes depending on thickness. I look for a slight brown around the edges. Timing has to be a little more perfect if it is cookie cutter cookies that are getting iced. Too light and they will bend, too dark and they will crumble.
- EAT!
