Ingredients
THE COOKIES:
1/2 cup vegan butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup raw cane sugar (or your fave granulated sugar)
3 cups Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached White All Purpose Flour
6 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup room temperature unsweetened almond milk
neutral oil (like canola) for rolling
THE GLAZE:
2 cups powdered sugar
3 and 1/2 Tbsp. unsweetened almond milk
splash vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine vegan butter and sugar in a stand mixer with the flat beater attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about a minute. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Meanwhile, combine your flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
Reduce your stand mixer speed to low and add 1/3 of your dry ingredients, followed by 1/2 cup milk, 1/3 of your dry ingredients, the remaining 1/2 cup milk, then the remaining 1/3 of your dry ingredients. Increase the speed to medium and mix until just combined.
Take chunks of your dough (I like making mine slightly bigger than a golf ball), oiling your hands in between each, and roll them into a ball. Stick them on your baking sheet with a bit of room between each (they don’t spread too much). Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until they look dried out on top.
Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet, then move them to a cooling rack for glazing.
Whisk the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Dunk the tops of the cookies in the glaze, swirling so the entire top is covered. Place the cookies back on the cooling rack so that the glaze can drip down. Allow to set up at room temperature or pop them in the fridge for quicker setting.
