Vegan, Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free SUGAR COOKIES!


Hi everyone

Today I'm going to be sharing with you my recipe for American style sugar cookies! Only these are a whole lot healthier and gluten free, yay!

As you can see from the picture, even my dogs loved them haha!!

You will need:
  • 75g vegan butter or coconut oil
  • 75g coconut sugar or agave/maple syrup
  • 1tbsp almond milk
  • 1-2tsp vanilla (depending how vanilla-y you like them!)
  • 35g brown rice flour 
  • 65g plain gluten free flour (i use doves farm)
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp cold water
Preheat your oven to 180C. Cream butter/oil and sugar together until combined. Add in milk and vanilla and stir. Then add your flours, baking powder and water, and mix to form a dough. Use your hands to shape it and then roll it out to about 1cm thick. Cut out shapes - or form into cookies with your hands - and put on a lined baking tray. Bake them for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
I then ice mine using an icing made from icing sugar and water with food colouring. You could also make a chocolate glaze using cacao, coconut oil and maple syrup.
