3 tbsp water

For the dough

1 cup vegan butter, softened
¾ cup organic cane sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

For the icing

2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
3–4 tbsp plant-based milk
gel food coloring, as desired (optional)

Instructions

1
Stir together the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl until combined. Set aside for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel.
2
Beat the softened vegan butter and organic cane sugar together in a large bowl with a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed for 2–3 minutes, until pale and fluffy. Add the flax egg and vanilla extract and beat on low until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
