Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dairy-free margarine
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free margarine (for frosting)
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons Almond milk or other dairy-free milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the dairy-free margarine and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, beat together the dairy-free margarine, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk until creamy and smooth.
Once the cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe the frosting on top as desired.
