VEGAN SHORTBREAD COOKIES RECIPE

• Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C).
• Sift the flour and add it to a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and salt and mix together.
• Then add the vegan butter, rubbing it in with your fingers. It will first be crumbly and then gradually will form into cookie dough.

• Form the cookie dough into a ball and then flatten it out on a flour-dusted surface and cut out some cookies. You can either use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten it out to around ½ inch thick. The dough is quite fragile, so if you use a rolling pin, you can roll and sort of press at the same time.
• Dust the top of the dough with flour so that the rolling pin doesn’t stick. Roll the cookies in more granulated sugar and place them onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
• Roll the remaining dough into a ball again and flatten out again, cutting out more cookies and then repeating.
• In the end, you’ll cut out your final cookie, and whatever’s left won’t be enough for the last cookie, so just roll it into a small ball, roll it in sugar and add it to the baking tray as a bonus cookie.
• You should have around 8-9 cookies.
• Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes* until lightly golden on top.
• Remove from the oven and allow them to cool and firm up directly on the tray before moving them.
