sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Brown sugar is often less expensive and adds a different flavor.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream together coconut oil, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

Add vanilla extract and non-dairy milk to the sugar mixture and mix well.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

If using, stir in cornstarch for added texture.

Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll into balls.

Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.

Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar or sprinkles, if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
