The Perfect Cookie For The Holidays
Let your friends and neighbours know you are thinking of them with a box of beautifully decorated cookies this holiday. They make a festive home-made present or thoughtful hostess gift. Combine them with my other vegan cookies to make a beautiful box of sweet treats sure to spread holiday cheer.
Let’s not forget The Man In The Big Red Suit. Santa will be sure to Ho Ho Ho if he finds these cookies left for him on Christmas Eve.
Can These Cookie Be Gluten-Free?
I have not tested this recipe using gluten-free flour although in theory they should work. If you make these cookies flute-free please let me know how they turn out so I can share the recipe.
Can I Freeze These Cookies?
These cookies freeze very well for up to 3 months. I would suggest freezing these cookies plain and icing when thawed for best results.
Sugar Tip
Do you find when you go to measure out your sugar, it has become one big hard lump? Here is a quick and easy fix. Put a small piece of bread or better yet the heal of the bread that never gets eaten into your sugar bag or container. Within 24 hours you will have soft sugar again.

Instructions
- In a large bowl using an electric or stand mixer*, cream together plant butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and maple extract. Mix for 2 minutes.

- Cover the dough with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- When dough is chilled preheat your oven to 350F (170C). Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
- Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut into snowflake or desired shape.
- Transfer to baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes rotating halfway to ensure even cooking. Remove and let cool completely before icing.
For The Icing:
- Mix together icing sugar and plant milk until desired consistency is reached adding more milk if you would like the icing thinner or more icing sugar to make it thicker. Ice your cookies using a piping bag and decorate with sugar balls.
Notes
*If you do not have an electric or stand mixer you can cream the butter using a fork. It will take about 5 minutes.
