About the Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup of softened (not melted) Earth Balance Vegan Butter
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of pure maple extract or organic maple syrup
1/2 cup of brown Sugar In The Raw
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 cup of whole wheat pastry flour
1/8 teaspoon of sea salt
Preparation
Beat the Earth Balance butter, sugar, maple extract, and vanilla extract in a bowl with a mixer until the ingredients are blended and fluffy. Whisk the sea salt, all purpose flour, and whole wheat pastry flour in a separate bowl with a egg whisk until the flours and salt have blended well. Then slowly fold the flour in with the butter and sugar with the mixer until all of the flour is gone and the mix is light and fluffy.
​
Cover your mixing bowl with foil and set the batter in the refrigerator to harden for a minimum of two hours. If you would like to use a rolling pin and cookie cutters, you will need to use a scraper and transfer the cookie dough onto parchment paper and refrigerate and store overnight or for a minimum of six hours. When the cookie dough is ready to roll out, use parchment paper and sprinkle some of the whole wheat pastry flour onto the parchment paper to prevent the cookie dough from sticking.
