Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup vegan butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbs corn starch
  • 1 tsp cream tartar
  • 3 tbs soymilk
  • Frosting:
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ tsp matcha powder (optional if you want green frosting)
  • 1 tbs water + tiny splashes if needed
  • any cookie topping you'd like (chocolate chips, sprinkles, c=dried cranberries)
Instructions
  1. Combine dry cookie ingredients in medium mixing bowl. Stir well with whisk to combine.
  2. Add cold butter along with vanilla into dry mixture. Cut butter into mixture using pastry cutter or a fork until clumpy but mostly combined. Then add 3 tbs milk and knead with hands until you get a moist dough.
  3. Roll dough into ball, place ball in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  5. Carefully roll dough out on to floured surface until it is about ¼ inch thick.
  6. Carefully cut cookies out and place on greased cookie sheet. I used a spatula to minimize dough breakage. Continue rolling dough into a ball, then rolling out, then cutting out cookies until all dough is used up.
  7. Place the cookie sheet in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  8. Bake cookies for 10 minutes or until dough just starts to brown.
  9. Allow to cool completely.
  10. Combine powdered sugar, matcha if using, and 1 tbs water in a small cup or bowl. Slowly add several drops of water at a time if icing is not desired consistency.
  11. Frost cookies. Top with any cookie tipping you would like. Allow frosting to set for about an hour.
  12. Enjoy!
