Brown Sugar Shortbread Cookies
These Vegan Brown Sugar Shortbread Cookies are a sweet twist on a classic. Made with just a few simple ingredients, they're vegan and nut-free.
Equipment
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 ¼ cups vegan butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the flour, powdered sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl and mix until evenly distributed.
- Add the vegan butter and vanilla extract and mix until a dry, but not crumbly dough has formed.
- Take the ball of dough and turn it out onto a lightly-floured working surface.
- Lightly flour the top of the dough and your rolling pin. Roll the dough until flat and about 1/2 inch thick.
- Use your desired size and shape cookie cutter to cut as many cookies as you can from the flat sheet of dough. Repeat until all dough is used.
- Place the cookies on a parchment-covered baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- That's it! Serve and enjoy!
