Female positivity baked into cookies? Gotcha! My partner caught up this cookie idea and we decided to bake those delicious lemon christmas cookies 🙅🏽‍♀️

Shoutout to my partner who did the lion's share here 🦁

Prep Time ~60 minutes (primarily waiting time)
Cooking Time ~15 minutes
Result ~30 Cookies

Prerequisites

You need a circle cutter or simply use a glass like we did ✌🏾
And having a kitchen machine such as the Kitchen Aid helps a lot but is not required.

Ingredients

For the dough

  • 300g Flour
  • 110g Powdered Sugar (+ some more for the icing)
  • 120g Vegan Butter
  • 2tbsp of Plant Milk
  • Grated Lemon rind of 1/2 a lemon
  • The Juice of the 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2tsp Vanilla Powder

For the icing

  • 8tbsp Powdered Sugar
  • A bit of Lemon juice
  • Red food color powder [1]

[1] As an alternative you could use drops of cherry / rotbeet juice or acai powder for coloring

Instructions

Cookies

  1. Shred the butter into little pieces and mix it together with the Powdered Sugar
  2. Add the flour, the Milk, the grated Lemon rind, the Lemon juice and the Vanilla
  3. Mix everything thoroughly!
  4. Wrap the dough into foil[1] and put it into the fridge for 45-60mins

  5. Throw a bit of floor on the worktop to avoid the dough from sticking, roll it out and cut out circles
  6. Bake them in the oven for like 9mins at 200° Celsius
  7. Let the baked cookies cool down for like 15-20mins

[1] I am not using plastic foil but reusable oilcloth just like the ones here:

Icing

  1. Mix the powdered sugar with a bit of lemon juice until it has a juicy/chewy consistency
  2. Add only a little bit of the food color until it gets a rose color.
  3. Put the icing on the cookies
  4. Wait for 10-15 mins until it dries
  5. Now just repeat the icing procedure with more food color and put a drop in the center of every cookie
  6. Done 😎🙅🏽‍♀️
