ingredients

  • 1 cup non-dairy butter softened
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup
  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup strawberry or raspberry jam
  • 4 teaspoon powdered sugar for dusting

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

  • Step 2

    Place butter in a large mixing bowl and whip it with a mixer until it’s creamy. Add the maple syrup, salt, and vanilla and mix until all combined. Add the flour and work the dough with your hands until you can shape a ball with your dough. If your dough is sticky, add more flour.

  • Step 3

    Divide dough and shape into 2 balls, then flatten each into a disk. I roll the dough between two parchment papers. Roll into 1/4 inch thickness.

  • Step 4

    Cut out the cookies using a cookie cutter, cutting half of them with the plain cutter, and half with the small star or heart shaped cutter. Carefully transfer to a prepared cookie sheets, spacing them ½” apart. Gather up any dough scraps and repeat the process until you run out of dough.

  • Step 5

    Bake in a pre-heated oven for approximately 15 minutes, until the edges begin to become a little golden. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes before spreading the jam.

  • Step 6

    Take the regular shaped cookie which will be the bottom and place a 1/2 tsp jam on it. Cover it with cut out cookie like a sandwich. Repeat the process until you are done with all the cookies.

  • Step 7

    Dust with the powdered sugar until they look pretty.
