Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons almond milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil with the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and almond milk to the sugar mixture, stirring until well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.

Step 6

Fold in the toasted sesame seeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to about half an inch thick.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. They will appear soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
