The Recipe
Vegan Cranberry and Macadamia Christmas Cookies
Ingredients
500 g all-purpose flour
250 g cold vegan butter for baking, cut into small cubes
pulp of 1/2 vanilla bean
160 g powdered sugar
2 tablespoons vegan sour cream
120 g raw macadamia nuts, chopped very finely
Cranberry jam (I used homemade)
powdered sugar to dust the cookies
Instructions
1. In a bowl mix all ingredients for the cookie dough and knead by hand until smooth. Put into fridge for at least one hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350°C / 180 °C.
3. On a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface roll out cookie dough and cut out round cookies. Transfer them on a lined baking tray and bake for about 10-12 minutes.
4. Allow to cool. Spread the cranberry jam on half of the cookies and top with another one (like a sandwich cookie).
5. Dust with powdered sugar and store in an airtight container. ENJOY!
