Cuisine American
Servings 30 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup room temperature vegan butter I use country crock olive oil
  • 1/2 cup room temperature vegan cream cheese I like Violife brand
  • 3/4 cup White sugar
  • 1 egg replacement I use Bobs Redmill
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups gluten free 1to1 flour plus extra for rolling

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl cream together the vegan butter, vegan cream cheese, and sugar until fluffy.
  • Follow instructions on the package for mixing together one egg replacement.
  • Add the egg replacement, vanilla, baking powder, and salt to the butter and sugar mixture and cream together again.
  • Finally add the gluten free flour and mix well.
  • The dough will still be sticky and may look too loose to be a cutout cookie but trust the process. Refrigerate for 3 hrs. or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 325F.
  • Pull the dough from the fridge, divide into two balls and roll out 1/4" thick on a lightly (gluten free) floured surface. If you prefer your cookies crispier roll them a little thinner.
  • Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out your desired shapes. Place them on a parchment lined or non-stick baking pan 1" apart.
  • Depending on the size and thickness of your cookies bake for 7-10 minutes. The cookies will not get golden brown on the edges and if they do, they're way too overbaked.
  • Let cool on the baking sheet 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Cool completely before adding frosting of your choice. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
