This is a variation on the sugar cookie using coconut oil. It tastes similar to a shortbread cookie, but they are very moist and delicious. Roll tops of cookies in sugar and/or colored sugar before baking for a festive treat. Cinnamon and sugar works well, too.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup solid-state coconut oil, softened (but not melted)
¾ cup pure cane sugar (or granulated sugar)
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
½ cup rainbow sprinkles, optional*
3 to 4 tablespoons pure cane sugar (or granulated sugar) OR additional sprinkles

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the coconut oil and sugar on medium for 2 minutes, until sort of fluffy (it won't look quite the same as with regular butter).
  • Add in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla and almond extract and beat again for about 30 seconds, until well combined.
  • With the mixer on low, add in the flour mixture and mix until combined. If using, gently fold in the sprinkles with a spatula.
  • Line a large plate with parchment paper, then scoop about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of the dough and form into balls about 1 ½ inches in size. Roll in the sugar OR gently press the tops with extra sprinkles, then place on the plate (they can be touching / close together).
  • Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for about 1 ½ to 2 hours.**
  • Toward the end of the chill time, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the chilled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet about 2 to 3 inches apart. (If baking in batches, keep the remaining dough balls in the fridge.)
  • Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are just set (they'll look a little underdone in the centers but that's okay - don't over bake!). Let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack.
