Ingredients

Cashew Flax Milk Cookies
  • ⅓ cup vegan butter (melted)
  • 1 batch cashew flax pulp from milk above
  • 1 cup organic sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1¼ cup organic all purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup powdered sugar - for rolling, in a separate bowl

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Make milk using 1 cup cashew, 1 tbsp flax, and water to the min line
  3. Using ⅓ cup of this milk, make Almond Cow vegan butter
  4. Pour ⅓ cup of the vegan butter, in its liquid state*, into a large bowl with the entire batch of pulp from the cashew flax milk you just made. (Refrigerate the remaining butter for later use)
  5. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla to this bowl so that all wet ingredients are combined
  6. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder and stir until dough is formed
  7. Scoop out a spoonful of dough, roll into a ball, and generously coat in powdered sugar - the more, the merrier for beautiful crinkles! (If the dough seems super sticky, try using two spoons instead of your hands or sticking the dough in the freezer for 15 minutes)
  8. Place cookies on the baking sheet with enough room to spread and bake for 10-12 minutes. (they may not look done, but they firm up while cooling)
  9. Cool completely and serve!
