Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 Cups All purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 Cup Vegan butter, room temperature
  • 1 Cup Organic cane sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/3 Cup Non-dairy milk, unsweetened I used oat milk
  • 1/2 Cup Golden raisins
  • 1/4 Cup Dried cherries, chopped
  • 1/4 Cup Candied Orange peel, chopped*

Topping

  • 1 Cup Vegan white chocolate, I used King David Brand(melted)
  • Sliced almonds, candied orange slices*

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and then whisk in the salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the vegan butter and cane sugar with a hand mixer, or the paddle attachment of the stand mixer, until the butter is fluffly and light in color.
  • Add the orange zest, vanilla, and non-dairy milk. Continue to beat together until everything is fully incorporated.
  • Now, add the dry mixture to the wet, about 1/2 cup at a time, while the mixer is on, until everything is fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Pour the golden raisins, chopped cherries, and chopped candied orange peel into the dough and mix again for just a minute so you don't overmix the dough.
  • The dough will be a bit crumbly. It has a pecan sandy texture. Pull the dough together into a large ball. Divide into two portions. Roll each portion into a log the circumference you want the cookies to be. Wrap each log in parchment paper and chill for at least an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees(F).
  • Take the dough logs out of the fridge, and cut the dough into slices. If they crumble a little, that is normal, just press the dough back into the circle and place each slice on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper about an inch apart.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Let cool, then dip in melted vegan white chocolate and top with almonds and/or candied orange.
