Name: Gluten-Free Vegan Sugar Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 5 Tablespoons Vegan Butter, At Room Temperature; 1/3 cups Raw Organic Cane Sugar, Plus 2 Tablespoons For Rolling; 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Applesauce; 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract; 1/2 teaspoons Almond Extract; 1 cup Oat Flour (110g, See Note); 1 Tablespoon Non-GMO Cornstarch; 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda; 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder; 1/8 teaspoons Salt

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
2
In a large bowl using an electric hand mixer, cream butter and 1/3 cup of sugar until well combined. Add applesauce, vanilla and almond extract and beat until well mixed.
3
Add remaining ingredients (except remaining 2 tablesoons sugar) into the bowl and stir until a soft dough forms. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes so the dough is easier to work with.
4
Spread remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar on a plate and roll the cookies into slightly heaping 1-tablespoon balls. Roll them through the sugar and then place on prepared pan, pressing them down just slightly-you want them to have some good height,
5
Bake until edges are a touch golden brown and tops feel set (they firm up a lot once cooled), about 10-11 minutes. Let cool on the pan completely. Devour!

Note: As with all gluten-free baking, please weigh your flour to ensure results.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
