It’s time to add a vegan recipe to the mix! I’ve seen lots of eggnog flavored cookies on the internet and in magazines lately and thought this would be a really fun recipe to veganize. This recipe uses coconut oil in place of butter, which works so well! This by no means makes these “healthy” cookies, coconut oil is still a fat, but it’s a great alternative to using dairy products. And they are SO tasty.
- 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1 c. room temperature coconut oil
- 1/4 c. nondairy nog (<a class=”zem_slink” title=”Silk (soy milk)” href=”http://silksoymilk.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”homepage” data-mce-href=”http://silksoymilk.com/”>Silk</a> makes a great soy one and So Delicious makes a coconut milk one)
- 1 t. vanilla
- 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 T. cornstarch
- 1 1/2 t. baking powder
- 1/4 t. baking soda
- 1/4 t. ground nutmeg
- Mix the powdered sugar, salt, coconut oil, nog, and vanilla together in the bowl of a mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and nutmeg all at once and mix everything together well until it forms a dough.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece out onto a floured surface to about 1/4″ thickness and cut with cookie cutter of choice.
- Bake on a lined baking sheet for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottom edges just start to brown.
- Remove and let cook for a couple minutes on the pan, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If you want your cookies iced, whisk together some sifted powdered sugar and a little nog to make an icing.
- Enjoy!
Since these are sugar cookies the options for decorating are endless! You can ice them with a simple mixture of powdered sugar and nog, you can sprinkle them with colored sugar or sprinkles before baking, or you can leave them plain!
