Equipment
- Stand mixer or hand mixer
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup and 2 tbsp flour about 135g
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp turmeric
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger
- ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup and 1 tbsp butter or Earth Balance
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp plant-based milk or milk of choice
- 2 tbsp honey
- ½ cup brown sugar lightly packed
- Shredded coconut for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F (I bake my cookies at a high temperature to get a crispy outside and soft interior, but feel free to adjust your oven as you like!) and whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, turmeric, ginger and cinnamon in one bowl.
- In a separate bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, honey, milk and vanilla extract until light and creamy.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients.
- Chill the dough in the freezer for 30-60 minutes, then roll into 9 equal sized balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Top with shredded coconut and bake for 9-11 minutes.
- They will be super tender when they are out of the oven, so let them cool completely before serving!
