Gluten-Free & Grain-Free Snowflake Sugar Cookies Recipe

INGREDIENTS

Dough:

• 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
• 5 tbsp water
• 3 cups tiger nut flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup vegan butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp pure almond extract

Icing:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp plant milk
• Blue food coloring, preferably dye-free and plant-based

Decorations (optional):

• Candy pearls
• Vegan royal icing
• Sparkling/decorating sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Make the flax eggs first by combining the flaxseed meal and water in a small bowl and set it aside to "gel" up.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the tiger nut flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until combined. Add the flax eggs, vanilla, and almond extract. Slowly add the flour mixture until the cookie dough forms and sticks together. Don't over-beat the dough or it will be tough.
5. Divide the dough into two parts, sprinkle with flour to prevent sticking, and roll between two pieces of parchment paper until it is about 1/4-inch thick.
6. Cut the cookies out with a variety of snowflake cookie cutters. Place them on an ungreased, unlined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. You will likely need two baking sheets. Allow them to cool completely before icing.
7. To make the marble icing, first sift the powdered sugar or use a fork to ensure there are no large lumps. Then whisk together the powdered sugar and plant milk until you have a thick paste-like icing. Add a few drops of food coloring and, using a toothpick, swirl to create a marble-like pattern. Avoid over-mixing or the icing will be one solid color.
8. Carefully dip each cookie in the icing facedown and let the excess drip off. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet or cooling rack to dry and allow the icing to harden. Repeat until all the cookies are iced. Add the additional decorations if desired and enjoy!
