- Cookie cutters, optional
Ingredients
- 1 cup caster sugar or granulated sugar
- ¾ cup vegan butter softened
- 1 flax egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all purpose gluten-free flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum optional, if gluten-free flour does not include it
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon almond milk if needed for dough texture
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened vegan butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add the flax egg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and xanthan gum together. Sieve flour mixture into the wet ingredients.
- Beat until mixture starts to come together. Work with your hands until it becomes a dough. The dough will be slightly sticky, soft, and workable. If it's too dry, add almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time. If it's too wet, add more flour a tablespoon at a time.
- Roll the dough into a ball and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll dough out to approximately 1cm thick. Cut out shapes.
- Place cookies on lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool completely before decorating.
