Small Batch Orange Spice Sugar Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350F / 180C and gather all of your ingredients. The butter should be at room temperature. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, cream together 110 grams Plant Based Butter (unsalted), 1 tbsp Orange Zest and 100 grams White Sugar with the paddle attachment until combined. This usually takes about 30 seconds. Top Tip: it is important not to overmix any of the ingredients in this recipe and to only use the lowest speed setting (stir on KitchenAid mixers). Overmixing incorporates too much air into the dough and increases the likelihood of spreading.
Add 2 tbsp Orange Juice and stir until just combined. Add 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg, 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon, 1/4 tsp Salt and 3/4 of the flour (to avoid a huge puff of flour) and stir to combine.
Your cookie dough is ready once the mixture comes clean away from the sides and starts to form a ball on the paddle. To double-test the consistency, take a small piece of the dough and roll it up into a ball. If it feels too crumbly, add a small amount of water and re-stir. If it feels too sticky, add the remaining flour and re-stir.
Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper. This prevents it from sticking to your rolling pin. Cut out shapes and place them on a lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 11-14 minutes until cookies are lightly golden on the edges and have a matte appearance. Allow to cool, decorate as required and then enjoy!
