Vegan Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter)
softened (226g
- 1 cup sugar)
(200g
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 cups all-purpose flour)
(360g
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch)
(24g
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 3-6 tablespoons vegan milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- food coloring
sprinkles, etc, for decorating
Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Cream together vegan butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl using a mixer or wooden spoon.
- 3
Mix in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda. At first, the dough will present as a sandy texture but will come together to form a cohesive dough. You may need to use your hands to squish the dough together.
- 4
Form the dough into a ball. Roll it out to be about ¼-inch thick. I like to roll out my dough between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent the dough from sticking to the counter.
- 5
Cut out the dough using cookie cutters.
- 6
Transfer the cookie dough cut outs to the baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes.
- 7
Sometimes bubbles will form on top of the cookies. When fresh out of the oven, gently smooth out the top of the cookies with a spatula to create a flat surface.
- 8
Let cool completely before frosting.
- 9
Using a mixer or a whisk, combine the powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of the milk, and the vanilla. Add more milk if needed to get the consistency you need.
