• servings: 20 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

½ cup dairy-free butter (i.e. 1 stick; see notes)

½ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until everything is combined.

In another bowl, cream together the dairy-free butter and granulated sugar using a stand mixer or hand mixer. Mix in the egg and vanilla.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.

Flatten dough into an eight-inch disc, and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes.

About 5-10 minutes before the end of the chilling time, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper (or a silicone baking mat).

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough, sprinkling a little flour over the dough as you're rolling as well (to prevent the rolling pin from sticking. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Place on the parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges start turning a very light golden brown. Let cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to continue cooling. Enjoy now, or cool completely and decorate with your favorite icing.
