Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 Cup Flour Plus extra to roll out dough.
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/8 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp Vegan Margarine
  • 2 Tbsp Avocado Oil
  • Powder Egg Substitute Follow package instructions for 2 eggs.
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Method
 

Make the dough up the day before you plan on making the cookies. The dough needs to chill over night.
  1. Mix in a small bowl the powdered egg substitute and set aside.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda together and set aside.
  3. Add the sugar, milk, margarine, oil, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl and blend.
  4. Pour in the egg substitute and continue blending until smooth.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until well blended.
  6. Once blended, check to see if the dough will stick together to form a ball, if not add a little milk ( about 1/2 Tbsp at a time ) continue until dough holds together.
  7. Form the dough into a ball, divide the ball in half and place each half into sealable bags.
  8. Place the two bags into the refrigerator over night.
The Next day
  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F, prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
  2. Flour the counter or a pastry board, cookie cutter, and rolling pin.
  3. Pull out the two dough balls from the refrigerator and place one dough ball in the center of the floured area.
  4. Roll the dough to about 1/8 inch thick and cut with the cookie cutter.
  5. Place the cookies onto a prepared baking sheet.
  6. Finish by rolling, re-rolling, and cutting out the cookies until the dough is used up, adding flour as needed to roll out the cookies.
  7. Both baking sheets can go into the oven at the same time.
  8. Bake for 5 minutes and them rotate the baking sheet and bake for another 5 minutes.
  9. You want the cookies to still be light on top with a slightly golden brown edge.
  10. Watch the cookies closely, baking times can vary depending on many things.
  11. Remove the cookies from the oven, leave them on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then remove them to a cooling rack.
  12. These cookies can be frosted, or dusted with powdered sugar, or why not leave them plain!
