Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 15 grams Cornstarch
- 150 grams Vegan butter
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 150 grams Dark vegan chocolate
- 2 tablespoons Coconut cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Peppermint extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the vegan butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe small, oval-shaped cookies (about 2 inches long) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread slightly while baking.
Step 7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 8
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the mint-chocolate filling. Melt the dark vegan chocolate and coconut cream together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Step 9
Remove the melted chocolate from heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Let the mixture cool slightly until it thickens but is still spreadable.
Step 10
Once the cookies are completely cool, spread about 1 teaspoon of the mint-chocolate filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Sandwich it with another cookie, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 11
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling until all are sandwiched.
Step 12
Allow the assembled cookies to set at room temperature for 1-2 hours or refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up the filling before serving.
Step 13
Store Vegan Mint Milanos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
