Cinnamon Cookie Biscuits

Aren’t these Little Cinnamon Cookie Biscuits adorable? Light and fluffy texture and they can be eaten for breakfast or as a snack later in the day.

It is so funny but I really did intend to make cookies when I started this recipe.  I took out the stand mixer and for some reason I got out the yeast.  As I was going this way and that I thought ‘Well, I will go for big fat cookies with the yeast. We’ll see what happens’.  As I began, the dough was really coming along like biscuits so that is how this recipe was born.  They are unique and a real treat!

Author Ginny McMeans

Ingredients

• 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1-3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 Tablespoons cold vegan butter
• 1/2 cup soy milk

Instructions

1. Lightly butter a baking sheet.
2. In a small bowl mix the sugar and cinnamon together and set aside.
3. In another small bowl mix the package of yeast with 2 Tablespoon of warm water that is at 110°.
4. Set this aside also.
5. In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix.
6. Cut in the 2 tablespoon cold butter. I always finish by pinching and rolling the mix with my fingers until it resembles a coarse meal.
7. Add the yeast mixture and the soy milk.
8. Mix a bit and then knead in the bowl about three times just to make sure everything in incorporated well. Do not over mix or knead or you could make the dough tough. It does not need to be smooth.
9. I divide the dough in half and then half again and so on until I get 32 chunks.
10. These are the 32 cookie biscuits.
11. Roll lightly in a ball - and then dunk one side into the cinnamon sugar.
12. Lay this dunked side on the buttered baking sheet. Fill the sheet up with 16 biscuits leaving space between each.
13. Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each cookie/biscuit.
14. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes.
15. Serve plain or with non-dairy butter and/or jelly.
