Ingredients

  • cups 470 g all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
  • 1 tablespoon 15 ml pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • Equivalent of 2 eggs flax or tofu eggs or Ener-G
  • 2 cups 400 g granulated sugar
  • 1 cup 224 g nondairy butter
  • Nondairy milk if needed
  • ¼ cup 50 g granulated sugar or sparkling sugar (for the spice mixture)

Instructions

  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-size bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, and cardamom with an electric mixer at medium speed for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg replacers and vanilla.
  • At low speed, gradually beat in the flour mixture until just blended.
  • Add extra flour if the dough is too wet or a bit of nondairy milk if it’s too dry, until the dough comes together.
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
  • For the spice mixture, combine the sugar, cardamom, and salt.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4).
  • Line 2 or 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature until it’s firm enough to roll.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick.
  • Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Sprinkle the spice mixture liberally over the cookies.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
