Calories: 76kcal
Ingredients
- 2 sticks 227 grams Vegan butter softened
- 1 cup white sugar 201 grams
- 4 tablespoons Oatmilk 56.7 grams ( almond, soy, whatever alternative milk)
- 1 tablespoons vanilla extract 3 grams
- 2 teaspoons baking powder 10 grams
- 3 cups all purpose flour 426 grams
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Take a cookie sheet and place a silpat, parchment paper or grease it and set it aside.
- Get your stand mixer or hand mixer. Cream your sugar and vegan butter until smooth. Add the vanilla, and non dairy milk, stir. Next, add your baking powder stir, add the 3 cups of flour and mix until smooth.
- Take a Silpat or lightly flour your work surface. Take a chunk of dough and place it on the prepared surface. Take a decent-sized piece of plastic wrap and place it over your dough, now you're ready to roll. Roll the dough out to your desired thickness (¼ inch), I like my sugar cookies a little bit thicker. Cut them out with your desired cookie cutter and use a metal spatula to move them to a Silpat or greased cookie sheet.
- Cook for 6-9 minutes depending on the size of your cookie. Do not overbake. These should be soft. Let sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool. Repeat step 3 to finish the remaining dough.
Notes
Storing- Store in a sealed container on the counter for up to 5 days.
Freeze- If they are frosted, first freeze them in a single layer, then once they are frozen, you can stack them in a sealed container or a gallon freezer bag. These will freeze well for about three months.
Substitutions
- For Gluten-Free use an all purpose gluten-free flour in a 1:1 ratio.
- This recipe halves perfectly.
- Roll dough thicker for sturdier, easier-to-decorate sugar cookies. If rolling thin, note that they may not transfer well, and reduce bake time.
- Avoid overbaking; cookies may seem underdone but continue baking on the sheet. Adjust baking time for desired crispiness or follow recommended time for soft cookies.
- Use plastic wrap on top of dough and a non-stick liner like Silpat underneath for smoother rolling and to prevent sticking to the rolling pin.
