Ingredients

  • Icing Sugar to coat

Instructions

  • In a small bowl combine the potato flakes and plant milk until the flakes are completely wet. Leave it aside.
  • In a large bowl whisk room temperature vegan butter with the sugar, the vanilla extract, potato and plant milk mix, and salt until fluffy and airy.
  • Fold in the flour and work until it comes together in a dough. Wrap into film and allow to rest in the fridge for at least one hour.
  • Roll out the dough into 6/7mm thickness. Cut the biscuits with a canestrelli cutter or alternatively use a flower shaped cutter and use a straw to make a hole in the center.
  • Place the cookies on a tray and put them back in the fridge for another 15 minutes. It is important that the dough is very cold prior to baking.
  • In the mean time pre heat the oven at 180° C/355° F.
  • Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes. Note: cookies must still be pale on the top or only very slightly golden.
  • Cool down completely before handling them as in this stage they will still be soft, causing them to crumble easily losing their shape.
  • Once cooled down sprinkle the canestrelli with plenty of icing sugar and enjoy as you wish.

Notes

*Instant mash potato made with 100% potatoes, no flavourings.
Note: These cookies can be stored up to one month in an air tight container such as a biscuit tin.
