Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Vegan butter
- 60 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat the vegan butter until soft and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the powdered sugar to the whipped butter, and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt to the creamed mixture.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the bowl and mix it in at a low speed until it forms a soft dough.
On a clean surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin.
Cut the dough into shapes using a cookie cutter of your choice and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Gather any remaining scraps of dough, re-roll, and cut more cookies.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the shortbread cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
