Instructions
Preparation of Dry Ingredients

Heating Wet Ingredients
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, vegan butter or coconut oil, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir this mixture regularly until it reaches a boil.
Boiling the Mixture

Combining Ingredients
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately pour the hot mixture over the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir well until everything is fully combined.
Shaping the Cookies

Notes
For a variation, consider adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruit. Ensure to allow enough cooling time to help cookies firm up properly.
