Vegan and gluten-free shortbread cookies made with just three ingredients. Enjoy these dairy-free “buttery” cookies with a glass of Prosecco!

Vegan Shortbread Cookies & Prosecco by Flora & Vino

This past week on Instagram stories I asked everyone to name one positive thing that happened this year.

The response was overwhelming. 

I received notes of weddings, engagements, births, graduations, personal triumphs, friendship, and family.

Guys, I was brought to tears reading all of the beautiful, positive things that happened to and for our community this year. 

During 2020.

I was smiling through the tears, though, feeling so much joy for and through each and every one of you and your wins. 

It seems that despite all of the hardships of living through a global pandemic, we have lots of reasons to celebrate. 

And I know just how to do it. 

Pop some bubbly and let’s make some seriously easy 3-ingredient shortbread cookies. 

These Vegan Shortbread Cookies & Prosecco are the celebratory cookie and wine pairing you need to finish up 2020 with a bang. 

Vegan Shortbread Cookies & Prosecco ingredients

Remember Lorna Doones and/or Walkers? 

Periodically, my parents had a box of shortbread cookies stashed in our cabinet that we pulled out to enjoy with tea and coffee. 

I remember relishing the rich taste of the cookie in small, childlike nibbles. 

The best shortbread cookies are flakey, buttery, and mildly sweet!

And now, they can be vegan, too. 

Here’s what you need:

  • vegan butter
  • cane sugar or granulated sugar
  • gluten-free flour

That’s it!

I love this recipe because it doesn’t require a hand mixer to make it, which means I don’t have to unpack the monstrosity of a mixer I have stored in my overflow closet upstairs. 

It’s easy to lightly cream the sugar and vegan butter with a hand whisker, then add the gluten-free flour and use your hands to form a soft, pliable dough.

I recommend using cane sugar instead of coconut sugar in this recipe to achieve the best consistency and texture. 

It might seem too dry at first, but with some kneading it will form a moist, pliable dough. 

If the dough is too dry for whatever reason, work in another Tablespoon of vegan butter.

Finally, transfer the dough bowl to the refrigerator and chill for ~30 minutes.

Don’t skip this step, as it allows the dough the harden for the best cookie shaping!

While the dough is chilling, you can preheat the oven on 350°F and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper. 

Remove the dough from the fridge and, using a cookie scoop and your hands, form 16-18 balls with the dough and place them on the parchment lined tray.

Flatten the balls slightly with your hands to form flat, round discs.

Additionally, you can pierce the cookies several times with a fork to form a dotted pattern in the center. 

Bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re a pale, golden brown underneath and around the edges.

Careful not to over-bake them!

Now that the cookies are done, let’s enjoy them with a glass of 90+ Cellars Lot 50 Prosecco!

This effervescent wine is made from Glera grapes that are harvested in northeastern Italy’s regions of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia-Giulia.

It’s light, refreshing, and bubbly, with simple stone fruit and citrus aromas.

With hearty fizz, this Prosecco is well-suited for sipping on its own, or to liven up a sparkling cocktail!

It smells like fresh peaches and ginger, with a hint of crisp citrus on the tongue. 

We don’t usually count calories here at Flora & Vino, but a glass of 90+ Cellars Lot 50 Prosecco only has 98 calories per serving! 

This easy drinking wine tastes absolutely beautiful paired with these simple, buttery shortbread cookies.

Enjoy these Vegan Shortbread Cookies as an easy vegan alternative to the classic cookie. 

They’re easy enough to whip up in one bowl, with three ingredients, and no fancy kitchen gadgets. 

Try out different shaped cookies and decorative patterns for visual alterations. 

I think they’d be fantastic for a festive cookie exchange, a holiday party, or to enjoy by yourself! 

Put some out for Santa with a glass of Prosecco instead of milk– I’m sure he’d approve!

Cheers!

Hi, I'm Lauren!
You can find me in the kitchen making healthy and creative plant-based dishes with whole foods, on my yoga mat stretching it out, or curled up with a good book and a glass of red. Searching for balanced living in an unbalanced world. I live it, eat it, drink it, write it, photograph it, and share it all here.

Pizza date night tonight? 🙋‍♀️This VEGGIE Pizza date night tonight? 🙋‍♀️This VEGGIE LOVER’S FLATBREAD PIZZA is new on the blog today! 🍕In the post I share how M and I have never been on a *real* date and how we make up for that by doing dinner date-night ins. One of our favorite things to make together lately is homemade plant-based pizza! 😄 This vegan and grain-free pizza is made easily with @bobsredmill NEW Grain-Free Flatbread Mix! I love this new flatbread mix, guys!!! You can make it vegan easily with a flax egg. Bake it up then add pizza sauce, vegan cheese, and your fav toppings for a fun plant-based pizza night in! ☺️
-
You can make the recipe into one large pizza or two smaller personal pizzas (which is what we typically do so we can go wild with our own toppings). I went traditional veggie lover’s with mine but you can add any toppings that sound good. I’m a huge pineapple pizza lover whereas M thinks pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza. 🤣 Grab the full recipe via the link in my profile and let me know what you think!
