Dough
Step 1
Combine flour, powderer sugar, almond flour, and sifted sea salt in a large bowl. And then mix, mix, mix away!
Step 2
Grate chilled, vegan butter into the flour mix. The mixture should feel a bit crumbly at this point.
Step 3
Add vanilla bean, agave/maple syrup, vanilla extract, and rose water.
Step 4
Mix some more! Tip: your mixture should not have a tacky texture. If it does, sprinkle 1 Tbsp of flour and form into a ball.
Step 5
Cover, or wrap, the bowl and then place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour to let the dough rest and the flavors sink in.
Step 6
Remove the bowl from the fridge and roll it on a lightly floured surface until you have a thin but firm layer of dough.
Step 7
Stamp your dough or mold it into the desired shaped and arrange onto a cookie tray.
Step 8
Bake your cookies for 15-20 min. at 325 degrees. Shortbread should remain a light color and not be browned when finished.
Glaze
Step 1
Combine your milk and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
Step 2
Drizzle your garnish onto the cooled cookies.
Garnish
Step 1
