  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2½ tablespoons water, gelled), or 1 egg

  • 2 teaspoons Rising Star's Vanilla Bean Paste
  • 295 g (2⅓ cups + 1 tablespoon) all-purpose flour

  • 3 g (½ teaspoon) baking soda
  • 3 g (½ teaspoon) fine sea salt


Cinnamon Sugar:

Cookie dough:

  • 340 g cream cheese, room temperature
  • 106 g powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1⅛ teaspoons nutritional yeast, sifted
  • ¼ teaspoon white or yellow miso paste
  • 1½ teaspoons Rising Star's Vanilla Bean Paste
  • 1½ teaspoons Rising Star's Cinnamon Baker’s Syrup


Instructions

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth, lighter in color, and slightly fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Add flax egg (or egg), yogurt, and vanilla bean paste. Mix until fully smooth and emulsified.
  4. Add flour directly over the wet mixture, followed by cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until no dry streaks remain.
  5. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
  6. Stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Scoop dough into 75 g portions. Roll into balls, coat generously in the cinnamon sugar, then gently flatten the tops slightly.
  8. Bake for 13-14 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Cool completely.
  10. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, nutritional yeast, miso paste, and vanilla bean paste, and Rising Star’s Cinnamon Baker’s Syrup. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
  11. Pipe or spread cheesecake frosting onto the cooled cookies and lightly dust with additional cinnamon sugar.
  12. Drizzle Rising Star’s Cinnamon Baker’s Syrup on top of each cookie!
