DAIRY, EGG AND NUT FREE SHORTBREAD COOKIES


Ingredients

1 c. 225g Vegan margarine (dairy free, soy free, gelatin free)
3/4 c. 143g granulated sugar
2 1/2 c. 280g unbleached all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
Optional: coloring paste (3-8 toothpicks worth)
Topping: Dairy Free Chocolate Glaze


Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine the dairy free margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together and is fully incorporated. Roll out dough onto a lightly floured board to 1/4 inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or other shapes. Place on baking sheet and bake 20-22 minutes or just until very lightly golden on top and bottom of cookie. The cookies shouldn’t have any brown color to it.
Once cooled, drizzle with or dip into dairy free chocolate glaze.

Notes:
Tried variation in a double recipe: added vanilla, 2 tsp egg replacer, approx 1/4-1/2 cup flour, 2 tsp dairifree, and used 3 parts margarine and 1 part Coconut Earth Balance.
