Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup vegan butter room temperature
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp brewed espresso strong and cooled
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a tray with parchment—because sticking is a personal attack.
  • In a bowl, beat the vegan butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add cornstarch and beat again like it wronged you.
  • Mix in vanilla and espresso. Then stir in flour and salt until a dough forms. Soft but not clingy—like an emotionally available partner.
  • Roll dough into a ½-inch thick slab. Cut into rectangles, circles, or whatever shape screams “I bake on purpose.”
  • Transfer to baking tray and chill for 10 minutes in the fridge. Let them reflect on their potential.
  • Bake for 22–25 minutes until edges turn golden and smug. Cool completely before transferring.
  • Arrange on a charcuterie board with dried fruit, chocolate chunks, and the aura of someone who has their life together.
