Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• ¾ cup organic sugar
• ¼ cup white beans, drained and rinsed (cannellini or great northern)
• ¼ cup raw cashew butter
• 3 teaspoons EnerG egg replacer mixed with 4 tablespoons water (equal to 2 eggs)
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
• Pinch cinnamon, optional
• Icing
• 2 cups organic powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons plant milk (soy or almond)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Naturally dyed vegan sprinkles (Look for sprinkles from Confection Crafts or India Tree brands)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place beans, cashew butter, sugar, EnerG egg replacer mixed with water, vanilla, baking powder, sea salt and cinnamon into the bowl of a large food processor and blend well. Add flour and pulse just until combined. This should create a nice stiff dough. Do not over mix.
• Place dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
• With a rolling pin, roll out dough to ¼-inch thickness on lightly floured work surface. Cut into holiday shapes using cookie cutters and place on parchment lined baking sheet, sprayed lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 9-10 minutes until bottoms of cookies are slightly golden. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, then cool completely on wire racks.
• To make icing, whisk together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Spread icing onto cookies and sprinkle with naturally dyed sprinkles. Allow to dry completely, then store in airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
