Cinnamon Sugar Vegan Cream Cheese Cookies

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Total: 30 mins | Quantity: 24 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup (115g) cream cheese
  • 1 + 1/2 cups (175g) icing sugar
  • 1 tblsp ground flax seeds
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup (40g) cornflour
  • 1 + 3/4 cups (260g) plain flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) caster sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Using a stand mixer cream the butter until pale and fluffy - this should only take a minute or two. Scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times too. If doing the mixing by hand you'll need to soften the butter beforehand
  2. Add the cream cheese and icing sugar and beat in until well mixed
  3. Beat in the flax seeds, baking powder, nutmeg and cornflour
  4. Add the flour and briefly beat just until it's mixed in. Try not to over-mix
  5. Roll the dough into roughly golf ball sized balls and flatten slightly between the palms of your hands. Lay each cookie onto a lined baking tray - the cookies don't spread too much so can be spaced reasonably close together
  6. Put the tray(s) in the fridge for an hour
  7. Preheat your oven to 170 Fan / 190 C / 375 F / Gas 5
  8. Mix the caster sugar with the cinnamon then dip each cookie into the sugar, turning and lightly pressing to thoroughly coat each cookie. Return to the tray
  9. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes
  10. Eat while they're warm or allow to cool completely on the tray before storing in an airtight container
