Description
Looking for a deliciously spiced holiday cut out cookie recipe? This one is so simple and is a family favorite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup vegan butter (Earth Balance)
- 3/4 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/4 cup smooth apple sauce
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon molasses
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I use Ceylon Cinnamon)
- 1/8 teaspoon all-spice
Instructions
- In a stand mixer cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add the apple sauce, vanilla, and molasses, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and all-spice.
- While the mixer is running on low-medium speed, slowly add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture.
- Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly flour a silicon baking mat or a piece of parchment paper. Roll out the dough and cut with cookie cutters.
- Bake in the oven for 9-11 minutes or until the cookies are slightly brown on the edges. Cool completely before decorating.
Notes
For the icing I recommend organic powdered sugar mixed with a little water to make an appropriate icing.
