Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Start by creaming the plant-based butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Add the natural vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar, blending well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, natural baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the plant-based milk, until a pliable dough forms.
  2. Divide and Flavor: Separate the dough into two equal portions. Fold cocoa powder thoroughly into one portion to create the chocolate dough. Leave the other portion as the vanilla dough.
  3. Create the Swirl: Roll each dough portion into thin rectangles of equal size on a clean surface. Layer one rectangle on top of the other and gently roll them together into a tight log. Slice the log into even rounds to reveal beautiful swirled patterns.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place cookie rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft. Allow cookies to cool before serving to let the swirl pattern set.

Notes

  • Chill the dough before rolling for easier handling and cleaner swirls.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  • Measure ingredients precisely for consistent results and perfect texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender and soft.
  • Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for uniform color and cooking.
