Baking Powder Cookies | Vegan

I love grab-and-go breakfast foods. These baking powder cookies are a great, easy, and tasty toasted treat for breakfast or an afternoon snack with tea or coffee. I found the recipe in an old cookbook I’ve had, The Cookie Book, which showcases a very simple yet tasty and versatile recipe of a lightly sweetened treat that falls in between a cookie and a cracker…I guess you could call it a hard cookie, or maybe a soft cracker? Either way, try the recipe below for a simple grab-and-go treat. I’ve essentially re-written the exact recipe below from the cookbook I mentioned above. Check out more of their delicious recipes above!

Servings 26 cookies

Equipment

• mixer
• circle cookie/small biscuit cutter
• cooling rack

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1½ cup all-purpose flour sifted
• 2 tbsp cane sugar sifted
• 1 tbsp baking powder sifted
• pinch of salt
• 5 tbsp cold butter diced
• ½ cup dairy-free milk I used macadamia nut milk

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 400°-425° (200°C-220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Sift and combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bow to evenly distribute.
• Using the whisk attachment, add the butter until the mixture resembles crumbs, about 1 minute on medium low.
• Pour in the milk and combine on low until the mixture forms a soft, sticky dough.
• Generously flour a clean surface and scrape dough out onto the surface (dough will be sticky!).
• Liberally sprinkle flour on top and roll to ¼ in. thick. Do not knead the dough. Stamp out rounds with a cookie or biscuit cutter.
  
• The dough will be strips and pieces left over from the cutouts.
  
• To stamp out more rounds, flour your hands and simply bring the dough together. Do not knead or fold the dough over on itself, just firmly push it together.
  
• This may yield you cookies with splits on the top, depending on how firmly you push the dough back together.
  
• Place rounds about 2 inches apart on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
• Serve warm as an accompaniment to tea or coffee! Top these with honey, preserves, or just good 'ole butter.
