I’ve been craving shortbread these days, so I not too long ago made some chocolate orange shortbread cookies, however I believed one thing with vanilla may be good too! Perhaps one thing for upcoming Valentine’s Day with some raspberry jam! So I made some coronary heart formed Vegan Raspberry Shortbread Sandwich Cookies! I wasn’t positive how they’d end up, as a result of though I’ve made variations of this shortbread dough many instances, I wasn’t positive how it will behave as minimize out cookies, since I’m normally lazy and simply bake it in a pan. But it surely turned out excellent! Will certainly be doing this once more.
I used Earth Steadiness for the vegan butter in these, since shortbread wants a great quantity of butter and it really works effectively, however you need to use whichever vegan butter you’ve got readily available. They’ve granulated sugar, however in case you most popular one thing much less processed like maple sugar that will be good as effectively, they’ll simply be darker cookies. For the flour I used entire wheat pastry flour as a result of it’s what I want, but when you have no readily available common all objective flour would work as effectively. Or perhaps a gluten free all objective baking flour for a gluten free choice (I’ve use Bob’s Purple Mill gluten free all objective baking flour and it really works effectively). I used vanilla bean powder in these, however you possibly can simply use vanilla extract in case you want, a tsp.
I needed to chop these into hearts, as a result of I like cutesy Valentine’s Day stuff, it’s one in every of my favourite holidays ornament clever. I additionally simply love hearts! This dough rolled out fairly properly, however in case you discover it’s too gentle, you possibly can refrigerate it briefly. I additionally advocate utilizing a spatula to maneuver the hearts as soon as you narrow them out to stop stretching.
These cookies smelled superb whereas baking! I knew they’d be scrumptious! To make them fairly and even tastier, I drizzled the highest cookies with some vegan white chocolate! I crammed them with some actually good raspberry jam that Eric’s Dad made and so they had been superb! I like the mixture of a candy tart raspberry filling with vanilla cookies or cake! In case you are within the temper for some scrumptious cookies, or one thing festive for Valentine’s Day, positively give these Vegan Raspberry Shortbread Sandwich Cookies a attempt!
