    ❤️ What's Great About this Recipe

    • Easy to make with simple ingredients.
    • Buttery and crunchy.
    • Perfectly festive with a chocolate dip and colorful sprinkles.

    • Great for sharing at gatherings or as a homemade gift.

    🌱 Ingredients & Notes

    Here is everything you need for this recipe:

    • Vegan butter - Flora Unsalted is a great option, but coconut oil can also be used as a substitute.
    • Icing sugar - Essential for a smooth, traditional cookie texture. You can make your own by blending caster sugar if needed.
    • Plain flour - Also known as all-purpose flour, it forms the base of the cookie dough. Ensure it's fresh for best results.
    • Cornstarch - Helps achieve that perfect crunchy texture. Don't skip it!
    • Soya milk - Creates the 'buttermilk' when combined with vinegar and lemon juice. Any plant-based milk will work.
    • Apple cider vinegar and lemon juice - These cause the milk to curdle, creating vegan buttermilk for a tender crumb.
    • Vanilla extract - Adds a lovely aroma and flavor. Pure extract is best for a richer taste.
    • Salt - Enhances the flavors in your cookies. A pinch goes a long way.
    • Vegan chocolate and sprinkles (optional) - Perfect for decorating! Choose your favorite vegan chocolate and sprinkles for a festive touch.

    🔪 Equipment

    Here is all the equipment you need to make this recipe:

    • Mixing bowls - Use two separate ones for dry and wet ingredients.
    • Electric hand mixer - Great for combining ingredients smoothly.
    • Piping bag and star-shaped nozzle - Essential for creating that classic spritz cookie shape.
    • Lined baking trays - Silicone baking mats work best to prevent sticking.
    • Jug - For mixing the vegan buttermilk.
    • Sieve - Optional, but helps with dry ingredients.
    • Double boiler or microwave - For melting chocolate.
    • Wire rack - To cool cookies completely.

    🧑‍🍳 Instructions (Step-by-Step)

    Step 1: Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). This ensures your cookies bake evenly.

    Step 2: Prepare Vegan Buttermilk

    In a jug, mix plant-based milk, vinegar, and lemon juice. Stir quickly and set aside for 10 minutes. This creates a 'buttermilk' texture.

    Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and cornflour. Sieving is optional but helps avoid lumps.

    Step 4: Cream the Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, beat vegan butter and icing sugar until creamy. This should take a few minutes.

    Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Slowly add the curdled milk to the creamed butter. Mix well. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture until a thick dough forms.

    Step 6: Prepare to Pipe

    Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. This gives cookies their traditional shape.

    Step 7: Pipe the Cookies

    Line baking trays with parchment. Pipe dough into desired shapes, leaving space between each. Avoid stacking dough layers.

    Step 8: Bake the Cookies

    Place trays in the oven and bake for 11-13 minutes. Cookies are ready when edges turn golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.

    Step 9: Decorate with Chocolate

    Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Dip or drizzle over cookies. Add sprinkles before chocolate sets.

    Step 10: Let Set and Enjoy

    Allow chocolate to firm up completely before serving. Enjoy your homemade vegan spritz cookies!

    🍽️ Serving

    Serve these vegan spritz cookies with a hot cup of tea or coffee.

    They're perfect for a cozy afternoon snack. Enjoy them as a sweet treat or share them with friends during a festive gathering.

    These cookies are great for gift-giving too. Just pack them in a cute box or bag, and you're all set!

    ❄️ Storage

    Store the cookies in an airtight container, in there they will last for several weeks (I doubt they will stay in there that long though ;))
