Ingredients

Cookies

• 160g (1 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour

• 100g (1/2 cup) sugar

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 75g (1/3 cup) oil

• 80g (1/3 cup) soy milk

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Icing

• 360g (3 cups) powdered sugar

• 4 tbsp water, divided

• 2 tsp lemon juice

• 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses

• Red food coloring

• 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

1. Bake the cookies. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, soy milk, and lemon juice. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until a smooth, thick batter forms.

4. Scoop around 1.5 tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet and gently flatten each scoop. Leave some room between cookies as they will expand.

5. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes until golden around the edges. Let the cookies cool on the pan.

6. Make the icing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tbsp of water. Split the icing into three bowls with roughly 2/3 in one bowl and the remaining 1/3 split between two other bowls.

7. Add the lemon juice to the largest bowl. Coat each cookie in the white icing. If the icing gets too thick, add more water.

8. Let the first coat dry. Add red food coloring and pomegranate molasses to one of the other bowls of icing. Ice the top half of the cookies with the red, leaving an open half-circle in the middle.

9. Let the second coat dry. Add the cocoa powder (and water if needed) to the final bowl of icing. Draw a line along the red-white boundary. Complete the circle in the center of each cookie.

10. Let the icing dry completely before storing.
