Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 350 degrees. | |
| Step 2 | |
| In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the vegan butter, coconut oil, and sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Turn mixer to low and add the egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined. | |
| Step 3 | |
| In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the all flours, baking powder and salt. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Turn the mixer to low and add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix well. Shape the dough into 2 balls and flatten with your hand. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Line baking sheets with either parchment paper or silicon baking mats. | |
| Step 6 | |
 Place parchment paper on a flat work surface. Lightly sprinkle with a gf flour blend, place one dough disk on top, sprinkle that with some flour blend and top with another piece of parchment paper. Roll dough to a thickness of about ¼ inch or 1/2 inch if you prefer thicker cookies. | |
| Step 7 | |
 Cut cookies into desired shapes using cookie cutters and place on prepared pans spacing about 1 inch apart. Brush off any excess flour. Sprinkle the cookies with sugar before baking. Repeat with remaining dough. | |
| Step 8 | |
| Bake 8-12 minutes depending on desired thickness. Do not over-brown the cookies. | |
| Step 9 | |
| Cool at least 5 minutes before placing on a wire rack. | |
| Step 10 | |
 Once cookies have cooled, lightly dust them with powdered sugar using a fine mesh. | |
