Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 Cups All-Purpose Organic Flour
  • 1 Cup Vegan Butter (Chilled)
  • 1.5 Cups Organic Cane Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Aquafaba (Chickpea Brine)
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Beetroot Powder

Method
 

  1. In your large mixing bowl, combine the chilled vegan butter and organic cane sugar. Use your electric mixer to beat them together for about 3 minutes until the mixture looks pale and fluffy.
  2. Pour in the aquafaba and vanilla bean paste. Continue mixing on a medium speed until the liquids are fully emulsified into the butter mixture.
  3. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the flour, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, baking soda, sea salt, and beetroot powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold the dough gently, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Cover the bowl with a reusable wax wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with silicone mats.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  8. Allow the cookies to rest on the hot pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight glass container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies for up to three months. To revive softness, microwave for 10 seconds or toast for 2 minutes.
