Ingredients

  • 250 g vegan margarine (room warm)
  • 100 g powdered sugar
  • 250 g cornstarch
  • approx. 120 g flour
  • vanilla
  • 1 pinch of salt

for dusting

  • powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Beat soft margarine, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt for approx. 4 - 5 minutes until fluffy and creamy.
  • Add cornstarch and flour in portions and knead briefly and quickly to a very soft dough.
  • Form several rolls of the dough, approx. Ø 3 cm wide, wrap them in baking paper or cling film and chill them for 1 hour.
  • Take the rolls out of the refrigerator one by one, cut each roll into small pieces and quickly form each piece into a ball about the size of a hazelnut.
  • Spread the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart, and flatten them with a fork.
  • Bake the snowflake cookies in a preheated oven at 160 °C top and bottom heat for about 15 minutes, then let them cool and dust them with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • The amount of flour given may vary. Therefore, add flour in batches until the dough has the right consistency. It should be very soft, not mushy and not dry.
  • Knead the dough only briefly and quickly, never too long, so that the snowflake cookies taste tender later.
  • Do not bake the snowflakes cookies longer than necessary, otherwise they may taste dry. After baking, they must be white and in no case brown.
