Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup vegan butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 flax eggs 2 tbsp flax seeds + 6 tbsp warm water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for rolling dough + sprinkling on counter – using spoon-and-level method
  • 1/2 tsp E.D.SMITH Blueberry Pie Filling to fill each cookie

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, create your flax eggs by adding 2 tbsp of flax seeds and 6 tbsp of warm water. Let it set for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds, until creamy and no clumps remain.
  • Add in flax eggs and vanilla extract, and mix for another 30 seconds until creamy.
  • Add baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix well.
  • Mix in the flour a bit at a time. When it becomes difficult to mix, use a spatula to form into a ball of dough.
  • The dough should be sticky but still be able to form a ball. Once your dough has this consistency, place on a floured countertop (sprinkle work surface with flour). Add in more flour, and mix with your hands until dough is not very sticky, and can form into a ball.
  • Transfer dough back to your bowl, then use a cookie scooper to scoop the dough (about 1.5 - 2 tbsp). Roll into your hands, then place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Use either a small measuring spoon, the back of a spatula or your thumb to create an indentation in your cookie.
  • Add 1/2 tsp E.D.SMITH Blueberry Pie Filling into each cookie.
  • Bake for 12-13 minutes, then let cool for 10-20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
