And now for the recipe!
Super-Easy Sugar Cookies
3/4 Cup Vegan Margarine
1 Cup Sifted Confectioner's Sugar
1 Tablespoon Ground Flax
3 Tablespoons Water
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, Sifted
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Cream butter and confectioner's sugar in a large bowl until fluffy.
In a small bowl beat the flax and water together until frothy. Combine with sugar and butter, add vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, stir until a soft dough forms. divide dough into half. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out half the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out with desired cookie cutters. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
Enjoy!
