Vegan Cranberry Shortbread

We’re all about Christmas Vegan cookies in our house. Love this time of year with lots going on. There are new recipes to try, but we also have are true blue favourites as well. We’ve adapted our diary free shortbread recipe and added in some wonderfully tart cranberries to the mix for our Vegan Cranberry Shortbread. They provide a great contrast to a really rich biscuit.

Free From: Dairy, Soya, Nuts, Eggs

Contains: Gluten

Preheat oven to 170ºC or 350ºF

Vegan Cranberry Shortbread Allergy Mums
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup cranberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon water
  • ¾ cup Flora Dairy Free – we find this works better than other brands in this recipe
  • ½ cup caster sugar
  • 1 ½ cups plain flour sifted
  • ¼ cup fine semolina
Directions
Step 1
Start by cooking your cranberries. You can get them at most big supermarkets now. Just pop 1/2 cup of cranberries into a pan, add in the sugar and water and heat gently for about 10 minutes. You want them firm enough to hold their shape – not mushy at all. Then drain them so you don’t get extra liquid into the cookie batter. There won’t be much liquid so don’t be fooled into skipping this step – it’s vital!
Step 2
Then beat the dairy free margarine until it goes a lighter colour. Beat in the caster sugar until combined and the mixture looks fluffy.
Step 3
Then stir in the flour. I need to use my hands to bring it all into a ball. Now add the cranberries into the mix very gently. You’ll get some stripes of colour but the berries should hold. You need to be gentle or you will crush the berries.
Step 4
It should be a soft dough, which is very pliable
Step 5
We like our shortbread quite sweet. So we dust the board with a bit of caster sugar and roll out the dough quite thick – about ½ inch. I think these look best as ‘fingers’, or rectangles if you must. Shape the dough into a square, about 1/2 thick and using a sharp knife cut into rectangles.
Step 6
Dip the knife into flour so it doesn’t stick when you cut.
Step 7
Place on a very lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. They should be light brown on the bottom and a bit of colour on top. Cool on a wire rack.

Easy Bean Salad

Easy Bean Salad

We love Bean Salad, its just a nice change from a green salad. Packed with protein and simple to do – a lot of opening of tins involved! A simple salad that’s great with a BBQ   If you’ve got a BBQ going and want something nice on it – do try these Duck Skewers.

Duck Skewers

BBQ Duck Skewers

The weather is fine, the BBQ is out and it’s time to pop something other than a sausage on the BBQ.  Skewers are always popular – I like to cut the meat into strips rather than chunks as it cooks more evenly. Duck is amazing on a BBQ – full of flavour and quick to […]

Coconut Chicken

Coconut Chicken and Pineapple

This is a lovely meal on the BBQ or under the grill. Cooking time is pretty short, about 15 minutes but you do need to marinate them for at least 3 hours, or even prepare them the night before.  Pineapple is a good fruit for these, as it’s solid enough to take the heat from […]
