**Vegan Shortbread Cookies Gluten-Free Rhian’s Recipes**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup vegan butter, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix well.
4. Gradually add the gluten-free flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too crumbly, you can add a splash of plant-based milk to help it come together.
5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
6. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cookies are completely cooled, you can enjoy them as is or drizzle them with melted dairy-free chocolate for an extra indulgent touch.
