Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Food coloring (optional, for decoration)
- Vegan frosting for decorating
- Sprinkles or edible decorations (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Chill (Optional): For easier handling, you may refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to an hour.
