Instructions
- To make cookies: Mix egg replacer, 3 tablespoons of the plant-based milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
- Mix in margarine and sugar.
- Stir in flour just until combined. Add additional plant-based milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, just to make a smooth dough that is not sticky.
- Form dough into a circle, cover, and refrigerate for about 2 hours (or overnight).
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out dough to ¼-inch thickness using a rolling pin that has been dusted with flour.
- Cut out dough into desired shapes using cookie cutters that have been lightly floured.
- Place cookies on a baking sheet, allowing space to spread slightly.
- Bake for about 10 – 15 minutes, just until surface starts to turn golden.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- To Make Icing: Place powdered sugar in a small dish; add vanilla, and mix in just enough plant-based milk to make a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Decorate cookies with icing and decorations as desired.
