These Easter Thumbprint Cookies are made with the healthier ingredients and bake in about 10 minutes! Read the post for more tips.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour (I used unbleached all-purpose)
- 1 cup Coconut Sugar (date sugar or other preferred sugar also works)
- 2 tsp Arrowroot
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ¼ cup Aquafaba (the liquid from a can chickpeas)
- ½ cup vegan butter (I used Miyokos)
- ¼ tsp salt (optional)
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- Unreal Chocolate Covered Peanut Gems (large chocolate chips also work)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixer or with beaters, cream the vegan butter and sugar together. Then add in the aquafaba, apple cider vinegar and vanilla and mix again. Add the dry ingredients - the flour, arrowroot, baking soda and salt. Slowly mix it all together. This can be done with beaters or a wooden spoon. Beaters is faster, but a wooden spoon will get the job done.
- Once the dough is ready scoop out spoonful size balls and roll in your hands. Place each one on the baking sheet. Then press the Unreal (m&m-like) chocolates into the center of the dough ball. Baked in the oven for 10 minutes. Allow them to completely cool before serving. Enjoy!
