Vegan Jam Thumbprint Cookies

[matheuscodes]

From Phil Bacnotan:

350 grams vegan butter, room temperature 1 cup sugar 1 packet vanilla sugar 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 3 1/2 cup flour

1 cup desiccated coconut 1/2 cup sugar 3 tablespoons veg oil

Jam of your choice, about 1/2 cup

• Preheat your oven at 175C.
• Meanwhile, cream together the first four ingredients listed
• Stir in the flour (all at once is fine). Mix until the mixture has formed a dough. (If you need to add a few teaspoons of water, do so.)
• In a separate bowl, stir the coconut, 1/2 cup sugar and veg oil. (The veg oil will help brown the cookies and coconut)
• Roll dough into roughly 1” round balls
• Roll the balls into the coconut-sugar mixture. Using the palms of your hands, roll the mixture firmly into the dough.
• Place the dough onto a baking tray lined with baking paper about 1.5 inches apart. (these don't spread too much)
• Using the tip of your finger, press a hole in the centre of each ball, (I’ve found the end of a thick wooden spoon also makes nice even holes.
• Then fill each of the holes with 1/4 teaspoon of Jam.
• Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes

120g margarine 65g sugar 5g vanilla sugar 140g flour

30g sugar 25g coconut 1 spoon oil

Baked 25 minutes on 170C

Form didn't hold, made 15 (probably would be better more and smaller, around 30 perhaps)

40g sugar 40g coconut 10g oil

Baked 25min a 170 20 pieces... same mistake.

Next time: 0.68 Fett/Flour ratio instead. 0.5 Sugar/Flour stay.

Almost there.
