Title: Easy Healthy Cut Out Cookie
Ingredients:
– 2 cups whole wheat flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
– 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Optional: natural food coloring, sprinkles, or icing for decorating
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more coconut oil or maple syrup.
5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
6. If desired, you can use natural food coloring to tint the dough or icing for decorating the cookies.
7. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.
