Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2
|
Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Set aside.
3
|
In a large bowl, whisk together the canola oil, granulated sugar, brown rice syrup, nut milk, and extracts until thoroughly combined.
4
|
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Stir with a rubber spatula until a thick dough forms.
5
|
Form the cookie dough into about 20 balls. Arrange on the prepared baking sheets.
6
|
Bake the cookies on middle and upper-middle racks of oven until they are cracked and puffy on top and slightly golden brown at the edges, 12-13 minutes (or up to 15 minutes if you prefer them more golden).
7
|
Check to see that cookies are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
8
|
Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to cooling racks. Serve and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, or in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Room Temperature Magic 🌡️
    Allow all liquid ingredients like almond milk and canola oil to come to room temperature before mixing to ensure smoother, more consistent cookie dough.
  • Chill for Perfect Shape 🧊
    Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and cutting to prevent spreading and maintain clean, crisp edges.
  • Precise Measuring Technique 📏
    Use the 'spoon and level' method for flour measurement to avoid dense, tough cookies by preventing accidental over-packing.
  • Extract Enhancement 💧
    For deeper flavor complexity, use both vanilla and almond extract in equal small amounts to create a more nuanced sweetness.
  • Soft Cookie Secret 🍪
    Remove cookies from the oven when edges are just barely golden, as they'll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet and stay deliciously soft.
