These delicious, buttery sugar cookies are egg-free and can be made dairy-free. Eggless sugar cookies can be cut into shapes for decorating.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter , room temperature
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar at high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add milk and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until the ingredients are well-mixed.

  4. 4

    Use a separate bowl for the dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix this into the wet ingredients until they are well-combined.

  5. 5

    At first, the dough will appear crumbly. Squeeze the dough together with your hands to make it stick together. It should be somewhat dry.

  6. 6

    Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour before rolling.

  7. 7

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Cut shapes with cookie cutters. Use a spatula to gently lift the shaped pieces onto a baking sheet.

  8. 8

    Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned.

  9. 9

    Allow the egg-free sugar cookies to cool for 3-4 minutes on a baking sheet. Then, use a spatula to transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  10. 10

    Frost or decorate the cooled eggless sugar cookies as desired.
