Vegan Turmeric Cookies

These warming vegan turmeric cookies are easy to make and make a lovely gift for folks who enjoy other spiced cookies.
Servings: 20 cookies (approx)

Equipment

  • Hand held mixer

Ingredients

  • 130 grams all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon dried ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 115 grams unsalted vegan butter (block, not margarine) I used Flora brand
  • 130 grams white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon powdered egg replacer mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Line two baking trays with baking parchment.
  • Whisk the flour, turmeric, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and ginger together in a bowl.
  • Use a handheld beater to whip the butter, sugar, egg replacer (plus water), and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Do this for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the flour blend half at a time and beat just until the dough is uniform.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until cookies are firm around the edges.
  • Remove from oven and leave to cool on the sheet, if possible. If you have more dough and need to continue baking, you can shift some of the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
