Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer fitted with the Paddle Attachment
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • 1 3 Tablespoon Cookie Scoop
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter See Note
  • 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed
  • 3 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk
  • 2 teaspoon Molasses See Note
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 ¾ Cups All Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

For Rolling

  • ½ Cup Granulated Sugar for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350*F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the non-dairy butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
    8 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter, 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed
  • Add the non-dairy milk, molasses and vanilla and mix on low until combined.
    3 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk, 2 teaspoon Molasses, 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Add flour, baking soda and salt and mix on low until combined.
    1 ¾ Cups All Purpose Flour, ¼ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop 8 cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet. Roll each ball in granulated sugar, then place onto the baking tray, leaving at least 3 inches between each ball.
  • Bake in a 350*F oven for 12-14 minutes turning the pan halfway through baking. The edges of the cookies should be just starting to brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, before transferring them to a wire rack to continue cooling.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough.

Notes

My favorite non-dairy butter is Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks!
Scrape the bowl down using a rubber spatula a few times during each step of the mixing process. This will ensure the dough is thoroughly and evenly mixed.
