Vegan Vanilla Wafers
These easy-to-make, 9-ingredient vegan vanilla wafers are the perfect crispy cookie that goes perfectly with any hot drink, and works well in a number of desserts. With minimal prep time and just a handful of ingredients, these vanilla wafers are one of the easiest cookies you can make at home.
ingredients
- ⅓ cup coconut oil - room temperature (not melted)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 flax egg - (1 tablespoon flax meal + 2 ½ tablespoons water)
- 1 tablespoon plant-based milk (I used almond milk)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk coconut oil with sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
- Add flax egg whisk vigorously for 30 seconds. Then add almond milk and mix once more.
- Add salt, almond flour and cornstarch and whisk to combine. Lastly, mix in flour with a wooden spoon or spatula until loose batter is formed. It should look like cookie batter, but slightly softer. If too thin, add a tablespoon more of flour.
- Chill the batter for 15 minutes, while preheating the oven to 350°F (176°C).
- Once chilled, roll the dough out into a ¼-inch-thick rectangle between two pieces of parchment paper and use a small circle cookie cutter to cut out cookie shapes. Reform dough as needed until it's all used up.
- Tip: If you don’t have a cookie cutter, a round glass with a thin edge will work just fine.
- Gently transfer the cookies to your parchment-lined baking sheet. They won’t spread while cooking, so they can go pretty close together.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom and dry on the top. For crunchier cookies, bake longer. Just be careful not to burn. For more tender cookies, bake less.
- Let cool completely before removing from the pan. Store leftovers loosely covered at room temperature up to 5 days or well-sealed in the freezer up to 1 month.
