Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon natural cinnamon flavoring
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Sugars and Sweeteners
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar blend (for rolling)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the plant-based butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add apple cider vinegar, plant-based milk, and natural vanilla extract, mixing well. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural cinnamon flavoring, and natural gelling agent.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated and the dough comes together into a soft ball. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.
- Shape the cookies: Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape. Spread a blend of cinnamon and sugar on top, then gently roll up the rectangle tightly and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds to form the classic cinnamon roll shape.
- Bake to perfection: Place the cookie rounds on a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing them apart to prevent sticking. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown edges appear while the interior remains soft.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the Cinnamon Roll Cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with your favorite plant-based dip or beverage.
Notes
- Use softened plant-based butter at room temperature for better mixing and even texture.
- Do not overbake the cookies to keep them soft; remove when edges just turn golden.
- If dough is too sticky to roll out, chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before shaping.
- Use parchment paper on baking trays to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Adjust the amount of natural cinnamon flavoring to suit your taste preferences.
