Description

My younger sister has celiac disease and to surprise her for Easter, I wanted to make her a Easter bunny cookie that she could actually eat. These are delicious, made with coconut flour and almond flour, and they are gluten-free!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE COOKIES:
  • 1 cup Almond Flour, Plus More For Dusting
  • 1 cup Coconut Flour, Plus More For Dusting
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ cups Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks, Softened At Room Temperature
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1  Large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE ICING:
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 11 drops Red Food Coloring
  • 3 drops Yellow Food Coloring
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, Melted
  • 1 Tablespoon Cold Water

Preparation

For the cookies:
1. Sift almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
2. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
4. Reduce the speed to low, and with the machine running, gradually add the flour mixture, mix until combined.
5. Shape the dough into a large disk and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 45 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Transfer the dough to a working surface, covered with either almond flour or coconut flour (your choice).
8. Roll the dough out until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Use a bunny-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies.
9. Space 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll scraps and cut out. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
10. Bake until the bottoms are golden, about 12-15 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on sheets or a wire rack. Ice the cookies only after they are cooled.

For the icing:
1. Place the powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the food coloring and coconut oil. Mix into a paste.
3. Add enough water so that the powdered sugar is completely dissolved, but is still thick, about 1 tablespoonful. You don’t want a runny icing.
4. Ice the cooled cookies.

They sound delicious and I will certainly try them, however, they are not vegan if you use eggs :).
