Amish Buttermilk Cookie
Ingredients:
– 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
– 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Optional: 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, combine almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to curdle and create a vegan buttermilk substitute.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.
5. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the vegan buttermilk, until well combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
7. If desired, fold in vegan chocolate chips or chopped nuts for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
8. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Enjoy your homemade Amish Buttermilk Cookies with a glass of almond milk or your favorite hot beverage!
