Just as good as the real thing.

  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes + 2 hours chilling time
  • Yield: 24 cookies

Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup vegan butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup non-dairy, vanilla yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups AP flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • jam or other fillings

Instructions

  1. To make the dough: Cream sugar and vegan butter until well combined; it should have an almost fluffy consistency. Add yogurt, orange juice, orange zest and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  2. Sift flour, salt and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until it starts to come together. Use your hands to form a ball with the dough. Wrap dough in plastic wrap or place in an air-tight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  3. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out to about ⅙ inch thick. Use a 2.5-3 inch cookie cutter to create circle cut-outs.
  4. Add about a teaspoon of filling to the center of each circle.
  5. Form a triangle with each circle by pulling up and creating three sides, and pinching to create three points. Bake at 350 °F for 15-20 minutes, or until the tips of the triangles become golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and add to a cooling rack. Let cool completely (or eat with hot jam at your own risk). Store in an air-tight container for up to 3-4 days.
