Elderflower sugar cookies recipe

I wanted to share with you this easy recipe for vegan elderflower sugar cookies.

It’s so simple the kids will love getting involved and the elderflower gives the finished cookies a deliciously unique flavour.

This recipe makes 30 egg-free, dairy-free, sweet, crisp sugar cookies. Perfect for dunking in tea.

Here’s how to make them.

Ingredients

• 250g white sugar
• 185g plant-based margarine
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 60ml plant-based milk
• 2 tsp elderflower concentrated cordial
• 250g plain flour

Instructions

1. Beat together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy
2. Beat in the milk and cordial
3. Stir in the flour and baking powder and mix gently until combined
4. Put rounded teaspoons of mixture at least 2 inches apart on a lined baking tray. An alternative method is to put the mixture in a piping bag and pipe 1-inch-wide blobs.
5. Bake at 190C (170C fan-assisted, 375F) for just 8-10 minutes until the biscuits spread and turn light golden
6. Allow to cool and firm up slightly on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

So delicious! Are you tempted to give these elderflower sugar cookies a go?
