Baking Powder Cookies
These baking powder cookies are a great, easy, and tasty toasted treat for breakfast or an afternoon snack with tea or coffee.
Equipment
- mixer
- circle cookie/small biscuit cutter
- cooling rack
Ingredients
- 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.
