Eggnog Glazed Cookies- Vegan & Gluten-Free

It’s almost time for Santa. Do you know what Santa loves?

Santa loves cookies, and so do I. I love all cookies. I don’t discriminate: soft cookies, chewy cookies,   fluffy cookies, crunchy cookies and melt in your mouth cookies…I think they’re all perfect. These cookies are soft and fluffy and down right magical. I bet if you leave some out for santa, your stocking will be extra full in the morning!

Eggnog Glazed Cookies

These fluffy eggnog laced cookies are topped with a sweet eggnog glaze that makes them that much more special. 

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup potato starch
• 1/4 cup white rice flour or tapioca starch
• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/4 cup coconut sugar (any granulated sugar will work)
• 5 drops liquid stevia
• 1/2 tsp rum extract
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Sift together the flours, starches, baking soda and spices in one bowl. 
3. In a second bowl cream together Earth Balance, coconut sugar, stevia, extracts and So Nice Noel Nog.
4. Slowly add the contents of bowl 1 into bowl 2, stirring to combine.
5. Drop batter onto lined cookie sheet using two spoons. Wet hands with cold water and flatten/re-shape the cookies. (Note: the dough is very sticky so you’ll probably have to re-wet them often).
