Here is a quick recipe, a perfect sweet for festival occasions, as it is egg-less!

…as a side note, I often will half the recipe, and it still makes plenty of cookies 🙂

Ingredients:

3/4 pound unsalted vegan butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Method:

– Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

– Very important:
Mix the softened vegan butter and sugar in a large bowl (preferably an electric mixer, if available), [rml_read_more]
JUST until combined [do not over-mix!!]

– Now add the vanilla extract

– In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt

– Gradually (about one cup at a time), add the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture. Again, very important not to over-mix.

– Roll the dough onto a floured surface and form a thick disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour

– After the dough is cooled and firm, roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness, then cut into rectangles

– Place on cookie sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, until the edges JUST begin to brown. You need to watch them very carefully as they will burn very easily.

– Serve warm, or also delicious cooled to room temperature with a nice cup of hot chai 🙂

 

As a variation, you can melt semi-sweet chocolate chips and, after baking, drizzle the top of each cookie with melted chocolate. Delicious!

MUNNI TRIVEDI

My condition was progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years. I’d been good at taking my medicine and exercising so knew I should have felt better. My arthritis and scleroderma were really affecting my quality of life. Increasing pain and fatigue were wearing me down.

Dr. Jenny and Ajoy came well-recommended so I got in touch. I completed a short questionnaire before my consultation. Covid meant it was all done over VC. They put me at ease, and it was like we were in the same room. They asked all the right medical and lifestyle questions without judgement. They devised a plan which was holistic, realistic and easy to follow. Their gentle and knowledgeable coaching kept me on track.

The resulting decrease in swelling and pain has given me a new lease of life in a few weeks. I feel so much better and look so much happier. I felt they were genuinely interested in my well-being. Happy to highly recommend them.
