Spritz Cookies

Cookies Instructions

1. Uncover the vegan butter and leave it on a plate for 1-2 hours to soften.
2. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Prepare vegan egg white replacer according to the package instructions (it typically needs water).
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Add the prepared vegan egg white replacer and mix until smooth.
6. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
7. Prepare a piping bag with a nozzle of your choice. Fill it with the dough and pipe shapes onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely.
10. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth. Decorate the cookies with the melted chocolate as desired. Let set.
11. Optional: To make sandwich cookies, spread a thin layer of jam on the bottom side of one cookie and place another cookie on top.
12. Store the cookies in a sealed container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
