Step-by-step

  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the coconut oil and vegetable oil along with both types of sugar and the aquafaba. If you don't have an electric mixer you can whip the ingredients vigorously with a fork. Mix until smoothly combined; using a fork this may take several minutes.
  • Add the non-dairy milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Add the baking soda, cream of tartar, and sea salt, and continue mixing until smoothly combined.
  • Add the flour and mix just until the flour is smoothly incorporated.
  • Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least one hour (but preferably, for best results and the least spreading, 2 to 4 hours of chilling).
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat (you may need 2 baking sheets, depending on their size).
  • Mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.
  • One at a time, scoop a heaping tablespoon of the dough, roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture, and place it on the baking sheet, flattening it slightly and leaving about an inch in between cookies for them to spread.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes, or just until the edges start to turn golden.
  • Let cool for a couple of minutes before removing from the baking sheet and transferring to a cooling rack to cool down completely.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.

My Unexpected Baking Adventure: Vegan Snickerdoodles and the Joys of Simple Recipes

As a busy working mom, time is a precious commodity. My days are a whirlwind of meetings, school runs, and the ever-present to-do list. So when it comes to baking, I need recipes that are quick, easy, and deliver delicious results without a lot of fuss. That's where these vegan snickerdoodles came in. I stumbled upon the recipe online, and initially, I was hesitant. Vegan baking? I’m not a vegan myself; I enjoy meat and dairy products. But the simplicity of the ingredient list and the promise of classic, chewy snickerdoodles intrigued me. My family usually enjoys regular cookies, but this was a new challenge! I had to find a recipe which will work.

I've always appreciated the comforting warmth of a freshly baked cookie, and the thought of sharing that with my family, even in a slightly unconventional form, excited me. The kitchen is my happy space, that's where I spend my evenings. This was a new challenge for my family and me, so it didn't seem that easy. The recipe was surprisingly straightforward. No exotic ingredients or complicated techniques. Just simple, readily available pantry staples. I loved that! I had every ingredient at home; it was a pleasure to realize that. Usually, it takes time to go shopping, and I was surprised I could create something delicious from the staples I had at home.

The process was relaxing. The gentle rhythm of creaming together the oils and sugars, adding the wet and dry ingredients, the satisfying feel of the dough coming together—it was a welcome break from the relentless pace of my daily life. Chilling the dough was surprisingly key, allowing me to spend a little time with my kids while the dough sat in the fridge, and it did wonders for preventing the cookies from spreading too thinly in the oven. The aroma of cinnamon and sugar that wafted through the house during baking was just perfect; I always feel delighted during this process. It was a lovely experience which we can remember, and of course, the cookies turned out perfectly!

The result? Perfectly golden-brown, crispy-chewy snickerdoodles that were every bit as delicious as their traditional counterparts. My kids devoured them, and even my husband, a confirmed non-vegan, couldn’t get enough. It was a huge success! These cookies became a regular part of our baking repertoire. They're perfect for busy weeknights, quick gatherings, or just a sweet treat on a lazy weekend afternoon.

This experience taught me the beauty of simplicity in baking. Sometimes the most straightforward recipes yield the most satisfying results. And, it proved that you don’t need to be a vegan to appreciate the deliciousness of vegan baking! The experience proved that simple recipes can bring a lot of joy.

It’s a testament to the fact that baking isn't just about the finished product; it’s about the process itself. It's about the time spent in the kitchen, the aromas that fill your home, and the joy of sharing something you've created with loved ones. These vegan snickerdoodles are more than just cookies; they're a little slice of happiness in our busy lives. I would recommend trying this recipe for everyone, even if you don't consider yourself to be a baker. I'm sure the result will surprise you.

This recipe is great for those new to vegan baking or anyone wanting a simple, delicious cookie recipe.
