Holiday Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups All purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Ground Chia or Ground Flax I subbed for 1/3 cup apple sauce
- 3 tbsp Water
- 3/4 cup Vegan butter
- 3/4 cup White sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Almond extract
Icing
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2-4 tsp Non-dairy milk or water
- A few drops of food coloring optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients.In a smaller bowl, mix together the flax or chia seeds and water and set aside to let thicken.**Note- I skipped this part because I subbed with 1/3 cup of applesauce
- In another bowl, beat the vegan butter and sugar until creamy. Then mix in the flax/chia (or applesauce)Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until dough is formed.
- Put the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick. Now pop it onto a baking tray and chill the rolled dough in the freezer for 15 minutes or in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, cut your cookie shapes and lay them on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Re-roll remaining dough until it’s all used up, chilling in between if needed. Bake 8 - 11 minutes.
- To make the icing, add the powdered sugar, 2 tsp of non dairy milk or water, and food coloring.
- Once the cookies have completely cooled, decorate as you wish and enjoy!
