Vegan Christmas Sugar Cookies Turned Cuffins {Recipe}
By admin
It’s A Cookie!
It’s A Muffin!
No… It’s A Cuffin!
Yesterday’s baking extravaganza was filled with successes, failures and new creations! This being one of the new creations! I have to be honest… It was an accident.
I originally set out to make vegan Christmas cookies.
The dough seemed perfect, the trays were lined with parchment and I after 10 minutes I was expecting to open the oven to see traditional cookies ready to come out.
Instead I saw these monster cookies.
Yup, I was pretty nervous. Dan even commented that they looked more like mini cakes or muffins… so instead of letting it be a failure… they became cuffins.
I served them as dessert last night along with a few other treats and everyone loved them.
Nervous for no reason.
Because I didn’t use a ton of sugar in the cookie dough, these are actually perfect for crumpets too. Not overly sweet, but perfect for the holidays!
I promise, Santa Clause won’t leave even a crumb behind if you leave these out on Christmas Eve.
Christmas Sugar Cuffins {Vegan}
Cookie Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 14 packets stevia (or 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp sugar)
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 6.5 oz vegan cream cheese*
Icing Ingredients:
- 1 cup Confectioner’s sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1+ tbsp water
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
- In a large bowl blend together all cookie ingredients. If using cookie cutters, place dough in the fridge for 15+ minutes to allow to chill for easy handling.
- Remove from fridge, place some flour in your hands to remove stickiness and lightly dust cookie dough. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut out to desired shapes.
- Place on a parchment lined cookie tray that has been slightly sprinkled with flour. Each cookie should be 2 inches apart.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before decorating.
Icing:
- In a mixing bowl combine sugar, water, and vanilla. Add water more water tsp by tsp until you get the desired icing consistency. If it starts to harden while using, simply add a splash more water.
I am wrapping each cookie up with a bag of my favorite holiday tea to give as gifts. It’s easy, delicious, and much better for you than the traditional sugar cookies. And because the icing is more of a glaze, you’ll use much less than traditional cookie icing.
- Do you decorate cookies?
- What’s your favorite Christmas cookie?
