Equipment
- Stand Mixer - with paddle attachment
- Hand-held electric mixer
- Cookie Sheet or Sheet Pan
- Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ cup Vegetable Shortening
- ½ cup Vegan Margarine
- 1 tablespoon Flax Seed Meal
- 5 tablespoon Water
- 1 ½ tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ teaspoon Almond Extract
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 3 ¼ cups All Purpose Flour
Instructions
- Mix 1 Tbsp. ground flax seeds with 5 Tbsp. water in a small bowl and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Measure 3 ¼ cups of flour and ½ tsp. of salt into a medium bowl. Mix to combine and set aside.
- Into a large mixing bowl, or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the margarine, shortening, and sugar. Cream together until well blended and fluffy. About 3-4 minutes on medium speed. Add the flax egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. The dough consistency should be a little crumbly but will hold together when you squeeze it in your hand.
- Roll dough between two sheets of parchment paper that have been lightly dusted with flour. Cut shapes as desired and bake on a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes then transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.
