INGREDIENTS
- 113g (1 stick) vegan unsalted butter
- 150g organic beet sugar or cane sugar
- 70g (1/4 cup) unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 250g (1 3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
- 4g (1/2 tbsp) cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 5g Nekohama matcha
- edible flowers for pressing on top
METHOD
- Cream softened butter with a mixer, add beet sugar, applesauce, vanilla and cream until pale and fluffy.
- In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients, mix first and then sift over creamed butter mixture.
- Mix with a wooden spoon until you get soft pliable dough that doesn't stick. You might need to add 1-2 tbsp of flour at this point if the dough feels wet. Cover and freeze for 15 mins.
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
- Roll the chilled dough between two pieces of parchment paper, cut the shapes with a cookie cutter and press 1-2 flower on top of each cookie. Transfer to a baking sheet and freeze for 10 mins. Form scraps into a ball, chill and repeat the process.
- Bake for 8-9 mins. Let it stabilize on a baking tray for a couple of minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
