Steps

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, spices, and baking soda. Work in the margarine with your hands. Once the margarine is fully incorporated, gradually add the plant-based milk until you form a ball of dough.
• Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F).
• On a floured surface, roll out the dough thinly with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 2-3 mm. Cut out cookies in the shape of your choice (if you don’t have cookie cutters, you can make circles using an inverted glass).
• Gather the remaining dough into a ball and repeat the process until all the dough is used. Place all your cookies on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
• Prepare the icing: mix the powdered sugar with the water, adding it gradually to achieve the perfect texture—not too runny, not too dry. You can divide the icing into several bowls to create different colors using food coloring.
• Once the cookies have cooled, decorate them using a piping cone with the icing. (A piping cone can be made from parchment paper—if you need help, you can find tutorial videos online; it’s very easy to make.) Be careful, as the icing dries quickly, so don’t wait too long to finish your decorations!
• Once your decorated cookies are completely dry, you can store them in a box for up to 5 days.

NotesI used whole wheat flour, but you can use white flour too!
