Wet Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup vegan butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond or soy)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Extra sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare flax mixture: In a small bowl, mix the non-dairy milk and ground flaxseed and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened vegan butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the flax mixture and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.

- Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
