Ingredients

    1 ¼ cups white whole wheat flour
    ¼ cup white cornmeal (or yellow if you can’t find white)
    pinch salt
    4 oz vegan cream cheese
    4 oz shortening, softened
    ½ cup vanilla sugar
    water
    Sanding sugar
    Chocolate, for decorating “handles” (optional)

Directions

Combine flour, cornmeal, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
Beat the butter, sugar, and cream cheese together. Stir flour mixture in a little at a time.
Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight (or freeze up to 6 months).
Heat oven to 350 F.
Divide dough in quarters.
Working with one quarter at a time, roll into a rectangle about 5” long and ¼” thick.
Cut into strips about ½” wide. Carefully transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
Brush tops of cookies with water and generously sprinkle with sanding sugar. (if you don’t want to decorate with chocolate later, use brown or black “jimmies” for the handles at this point)
Bake 15 minutes.
Cool completely before decorating the “handles” with chocolate”.
Let set and enjoy!
