Sugar Cookies & Creamy Vanilla Icing
Simple and delicious! Sweet perfection!
~ Gluten & Dairy Free ~
2 Dozen
Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegan butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp gluten-free vanilla
3 cups gluten-free flour
(I used 1 cup of Kinnikinnick GF Pancake and Waffle Mix and 2 cups white rice flour)
1 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder (unless in flour)
​
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2) Blend butter, shortening and sugar in a bowl. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Then flour, xanthan gum, baking soda and powder. Add a sprinkle more flour if the dough seems sticky. Set dough in the fridge for a couple of minutes.
​
3) Using a tablespoon scoop 1-inch dough balls or use a cookie dough scoop. Do not flatten dough balls. The cookie sheet needs to be room temperature. If it is hot the cookies will go flat.
Optional: Put a couple of sprinkles on the dough before putting them in the oven.
This recipe didn't work well for shaped cookies because the cookies expanded and flattened.
​
4) Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
​
Once cookies have cooled to room temperature decorate with icing and sprinkles.
​
Creamy Vanilla Icing
Ingredients:
Makes about 1 cup
4 tbsp Becel vegan butter
2 tsp gluten-free vanilla
2 1/4 cups Icing sugar
2 tbsp unsweetened coconut milk or dairy-free milk of your choice.
​
1. Blend vegan butter until smooth, then add vanilla, and slowly add icing sugar. Then blend in coconut milk.
​
2. Keep blending until the icing is smooth and creamy.
​
Keep in a sealed container, in the fridge.
