Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for dough)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted plant-based butter, softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure all ingredients carefully. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift dry ingredients to keep dough light and clump-free.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until uniform.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened plant-based butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy to help develop chewy texture.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and apple cider vinegar into the butter and sugar mixture for depth and softness.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to keep cookies tender and easy to shape.
- Roll Dough in Cinnamon Sugar: Mix cinnamon sugar coating in a small bowl. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and roll generously in cinnamon sugar for a flavorful crust.
- Bake to Perfection: Place dough balls spaced apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Cool on sheet a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use softened plant-based butter at room temperature for smooth creaming and even texture.
- Stir dry and wet ingredients until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
- Roll dough balls evenly in cinnamon sugar for consistent flavor and texture.
- Remove cookies from oven when edges are golden but centers look soft to keep chewiness.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes if kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.
