Equipment

Cookie sheet
cooling rack

Ingredients

¾ cup vegan butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoon non-dairy milk
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon sugar (for rolling in)
2 teaspoon cinnamon (for rolling in)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Mix the coating ingredients (3 tablespoon of sugar and 2 teaspoon of cinnamon) in a small bowl and set aside.
Using a stand mixer, cream together the vegan butter and sugar. You can also use a hand mixer and a large bowl.
Add the vanilla extract and non-dairy milk and mix for another minute.
Add half the flour and mix until almost combined.
Add the rest of the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and mix until combined. Don't over mix.
Roll the dough into balls about 1 to 1 ½" in diameter and set on a plate.
Roll the dough balls one at a time in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle a little but of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each one, if desired.
Bake for 13 minutes in preheated oven. Remove from heat and let sit for about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-5 days.

Notes

Make sure you don't over mix the dough. The cookies will get dense and flat.

My favorite brand of vegan butter to bake with is Earth Balance. I also really like using Country Crock Plant Butter. Both come in sticks which is helpful for measuring.

Make sure you let the cookies rest on the pan before transferring to the cooling rack. They will be very soft right out of the oven and need a few minutes to set.
