Christmas cookie recipe (Vegan)

Michae Bublé playing in the background, a Santa hat on my head, the smell of freshly baked cookies fills the air. It’s the most wonderful time of the year; CHRISTMAS. With Christmas quickly approaching, I’ve decided to share my recipe for sugar cookies. These are super easy to make and of course, Vegan.

Servings: 15-20

Ingredients

Cookies:

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Vegan/vegetable-based butter
3 tbsp non-dairy milk (add more if the dough is flaky)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Frosting:

1 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp non-dairy milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Cream butter and sugar until well combined, then add the vanilla extract.
Sift the flour in a separate bowl, then add salt and baking soda.
Combine the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients by hand until it becomes crumbly. Then, add the milk and roll the dough into a ball.
Flour your hands, the rolling pin, cookie cutters and the surface you will be using to roll out your dough.
Roll the dough out to ideal thickness and cut out your cookies.
Place the cookies on a tray (which is covered with parchment paper) and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Monitor closely.
Now for the icing. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix at a low speed. Gradually increase the speed until the mixture is smooth.
Sperate the mixture into two bowls. Add a few drops of green food colouring to one bowl and stir.
once the cookies are done baking, allow them to cool.
Once cool, you can begin decorating.
