Vegan Wedding Cookies

This week I will be visiting my sister with my family. We all go to Amsterdam!! I am excited about spending some time with my sister but I have to confess I am thrilled about the visit I am planning to this gorgeous  shop

I will tell you all about it when I come back. In the meantime I bring you a recipe of vegan cookies with wedding decorations.

I had some soya milk and vegan butter left from my previous post so I decided to make some vegan cookies. This recipe is very similar to the butter cookies I have already posted but I replaced some of the ingredients to make it vegan friendly.
The only thing I did not know how to replace was the egg. I did not wanted to use egg replacer because I wanted to make it more natural. Reading about natural egg replacers I discovered that there are some fruits which make the same job as the egg for this recipe. This time I decided to use some applesauce without any added sugar but you can also use banana.

Here are the ingredients for today:

125 g of vegan "butter" (room temperature)
applesauce from 1 medium apple
250 g of all purpose flour
75 g of sugar
5 g of baking powder

We mix the sugar and the "butter" in a bowl until they integrate. Then we add the applesauce and we keep mixing until all the ingredients blend together.
We sift the flour and the baking powder and we put it in the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. We knead the dough until it becomes smooth and does not stick to the bowl. We wrap it with some plastic foil and we put it in the fridge. After one hour it will be ready to spread and cut. We extend it with a roller pin and put the cookies in a baking tray on some baking papper. We bake them in the oven for 10 minutes at 180°C or until the edges are golden. We left them cool in a rack and they are ready to decorate.



Most of the decoration is made of vegan friendly fondant and some details are made with royal icing. There are different ways of making your royal icing vegan. I made my own vegan recipe of royal icing with the following ingredients and the consistency and taste where really amazing.


Ingredients for the vegan royal icing:

190g of icing sugar
25ml of soya milk
1 teaspoon of corn starch

We put everything in a bowl and we mix on low speed with the mixer for a minute. We continue on medium speed five more minutes and it is ready to use!

Enjoy!! I will be back next week with a new recipe.
