40 g coconut oil;
60 g soy milk;
40 g vegetable oil;
70 g coconut sugar;
Pinchi of salt;
230 g wholemeal flour;

ROYAL ICING to decorate (optional):

60 g icing sugar;
10 g lemon juice.

METHOD:

1 – In a bowl add the coconut oil, slowly add the vegetable milk and the seed oil and mix with a whisk until you create an emulsion and have a creamy white, semi-liquid mixture (like a softened butter).
2 – Add the coconut sugar, salt and spices and mix with a whisk.
3 – Add the flour and baking powder and mix everything with a spatula until everything is incorporated and a mixture similar to shortcrust pastry is obtained.
4 – Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour.
5 – Preheat the oven to 165 °C static, prepare a baking tray with parchment paper or silicone mat.
6 – Take the dough, remove the plastic wrap and roll it between two sheets of baking paper to a thickness of about 3 mm. Shape the biscuits with the cookie cutters of your choice and bake at 165 °C static for about 10 minutes. You can roll out the leftover dough to makee additional cookies.
7 – Allow the cookies to cool and in the meantime prepare the royal icing by mixing the icing sugar with the lemon juice, fill a pastry bag and decorate the cookies. You can also color the ice by adding a few drops of food coloring.
8 – Enjoy the cookies with your friends and family.
