Spiced Pecan Sugar Cookies

These spiced pecan sugar cookies from Gina Fontana of Healthy Little Vittles are a gluten-free twist on the classic sugar cookie. The dough is flavored with allspice and chopped pecans, giving it a festive seasonal touch perfect for fall or winter gatherings. The cookies are easy to make, bake quickly, hold their shape well, and can be decorated with a simple powdered sugar icing that can be customized with different colors or designs.

To make the cookies, flax eggs are combined with gluten-free baking flour, vegan butter, sugar, vanilla, almond extract, allspice, plant milk, and chopped pecans. The dough is rolled out, cut into shapes, baked, and cooled before being decorated with a marbled icing made from powdered sugar and plant milk. The icing can be customized with food coloring to create a festive marble effect, making these cookies adaptable for any occasion.
