What’s the Scoop on Soft-Baked Vegan Activated Charcoal Cookies?
- Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Preheat your oven and line baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure effortless food release and easy cleanup.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, activated charcoal powder, baking powder, and salt to combine. Set aside.
- With the stand mixer’s bowl in place, combine powdered sugar, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract; whip until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved.
- Combine the flour mixture thoroughly, ensuring a seamless integration with the other ingredients. As you continue to stir, the dough should begin to thicken gradually. If the dough appears too runny, a quick 5-minute chill in the refrigerator will help firm it up.
- Form two-tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into rounded spheres and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Gently flatten the dough to a thickness of approximately half an inch using your fingertips. No worries at all, you can make them as thick as you please. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Don’t overbake; cookies won’t shift in color then.
- Carefully remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack to allow them to cool down completely.
