25+ Vegan Christmas Cookies
Ingredients
Cookies
- 3/4 whole wheat flour
- 2/3 hazelnuts
- 5 1/2 tablespoon nut butter - almond butter or hazelnut butter works best
- 6 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 3 1/2 tablespoons almond milk
Chocolate Filling
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon nut butter - almond butter or hazelnut butter works best
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
Instructions
- Add the flour and hazelnuts to a food processor bowl or a blender and mix until the hazelnuts reach a fine consistency (note 1).
- Add to the bowl the nut butter, coconut sugar, and almond milk. Blitz a few times until you get a crumbly dough.
- Remove the dough from the food processor bowl, place it in a bowl covered with a lid or kitchen towel, and let it chill in the fridge for at least 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 320F (160C).
- Once the dough is chilled, divide it into two parts as it'll be much easier to work with. Roll out the cookie dough until about 1/5 inch thick. Use some parchment paper to roll the dough onto, so it won't stick to your working surface (note 2). Then use a cookie cutter to cut into shape. Repeat until you've used up all the dough (note 3).
- Place the cut-out cookies onto a lined baking sheet. These cookies will hold their shape and won’t spread so you can keep them quite close to one another.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes (note 4).
- Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet. In the meantime, prepare the chocolate spread. Place the chocolate in a small bowl and melt it in the microwave in 20-second intervals, mixing in between. Once melted, add the nut butter and the cold almond milk and mix well with a spoon until you get a Nutella-like consistency.
- Spread the backside of one gingerbread man with the chocolate spread and cover with another gingerbread man. Continue until you have filled all your gingerbread man sandwich cookies!
