Simple Vegan Sugar Cookies

Simple Vegan Sugar Cookies

This is a modified version of the Betty Crocker® vegan sugar cookies. I am not vegan but this recipe is the best I have used for avoiding egg and dairy (for allergy purposes). I serve these cookies all the time to non-vegans and they are always a huge hit. The key is to not over bake! Please note, each individual ingredient is not necessarily certified vegan. Decorate as you wish with your preferred cookie icing.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 cup butter-flavored shortening (such as Crisco®)
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dry egg replacer (such as Ener-G®)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions

Step 1
Combine confectioners' sugar, shortening, and white sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add coconut milk, water, egg replacer, vanilla extract, and almond extract; beat on medium speed until combined.

Step 2
Stir flour, cornstarch, and cream of tartar together in a separate bowl. Beat into shortening mixture until combined. Cover and refrigerate dough until firm, at least 3 hours.

Step 3
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 4
Divide dough into small portions. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness on a generously floured surface. Cut into desired shapes with 2-inch cookie cutters. Place cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until set, 10 to 12 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

It's best to underbake; baking until golden will yield cracker-like cookies. Cookies will puff while baking and then settle when done.
