Instructions
- Heat you oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Sift together your flour and cornstarch.
- Beat your softened vegan butter in a large mixing bowl until it is very fluffy and light.
- Add sifted icing sugar and mix well.
- Add your flour mixture and beat again until the mixture "breaks". It will take a few minutes of beating.
- Add in your flavours and adjust for preference. My mom adds a little more almond at this point, but you don't want to make it overpowering.
- You can but this on your cookie sheets now, with 1 teaspoon mounds, or you can use a cookie press. Sprinkle with a little coloured sugar, if desired, or put a bit of candied /maraschino cherry on each to decorate.
- Bake for approximately 12 minutes, until the cookies are a light golden brown. Watch closely near the end!
- Let cool, as this is one cookie that tastes better cold. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
I was excited to discover how well this recipe works in a cookie press, as I love to make them heart-shaped! I also tried tried dipping half the heart in melted chocolate and it was wonderfully easy and delicious!
