Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Using a mixer, fluff up the vegan margarine/butter and sugar together
  • Add vanilla and almond milk, and beat until well mixed
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder.
  • Add half of the dry ingredient to the wet ingredients, mix and add the second half.
  • Use your hands to mix in thoroughly
  • The dough might be a bit dry and crumbly but its normal. Just press the dough together and it should come together
  • Split the dough into 4 equal parts
  • Add green, red, yellow and orange to the dough, one on each part and mix well
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour
  • Rip out small portions from each color and arrange it as shown in the video
  • Roll out the dough using a rolling pin to about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness. If you like having really thin crispy cookies, 1/8 inch thickness is perfect
  • Using the cookie cutter, cut out the dough out. Keep the remaining dough for using in the next roll. Do not overwork the dough, else you will end up with a solid brown cookie.
  • Move the cut out dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper
  • Bake at 350 F for 8 minutes
  • Let them cool for about 10 minutes before digging in!

Notes

TIPS:
  • Make sure to measure the flour correctly. The best way to measure the flour is to use the scale or fluff your flour with a spoon and add it into your measuring cup, and then use a knife to level it off.
  • Do not over mix the dough as it will lead to gluten formation and the cookies will come out tough.
  • Never place cookies in a hot baking pan.
  • Place the cutout cookie dough on a silicone baking mat* or parchment paper for baking.
  • Roll out the dough evenly to make sure the cookies are evenly baked.
