I love the holidays because it gives me an excuse to bake A LOT and one of my favorite things to bake are cookies! My personal favorite cookies are snickerdoodles and chocolate chip cookies. Now, I am going to tell you how to make my favorite cookies the vegan-friendly way!

Vegan Snickerdoodles:

Kelapo Coconut Oil Cooking Spray

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

1/2 cup sugar

2 tbsp. ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray baking sheet with Kelapo Coconut Oil Cooking Spray.

2. In a bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Add coconut oil and sugar and mix well. Beat in soymilk and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. In a separate bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.

4. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar and place onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned on the bottom.
