Best 3 Easy Vegan Christmas Sugar Cookies Recipes

VEGAN SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, add softened vegan butter and sugar. Beat with a handheld or stand mixer for about 3-4 minutes on high speed until the butter sugar mixture is light and fluffy.
• Add the vanilla extract, the almond extract, and the soy or almond milk. Beat again on high speed until well combined. This should take about a minute.
• Now add the dry ingredients. Mix again on high until everything is well combined. Do not overmix the batter. Form a ball and cover it with plastic wrap. Place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Lightly cover your kitchen counter with flour and roll out the dough with a rolling pin.
• Cut out the cookies with cookie cutters. I used star, heart, and Christmas tree shaped cookie cutters. Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the cookies on top. Bake for 8 minutes. As every oven is a bit different, check regularly, so they don't get too dark.

VEGAN SNOWFLAKE SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and coconut oil with an electric hand mixer until fluffy.
• Add the vanilla and salt, and stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Set aside.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into a medium bowl.
• Gradually add the flour mixture to the coconut oil mixture and stir to combine.
• Gradually add the non-dairy milk and stir until a crumbly dough forms. Using your hands, knead the dough into a ball.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼-inch (½ cm) thick.
• Use snowflake cookie cutters to cut out shapes and transfer to the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Re-roll excess dough to cut out more shapes.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, until slightly golden around the edges .
• Make the royal icing: Sift the powdered sugar into a large bowl. Add the vanilla and some of the water. Whisk until smooth, adding more water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
• Transfer half of the icing to another bowl and add blue gel food coloring to one. Immediately transfer the icing to piping bags, or cover with plastic wrap. Do not leave the icing uncovered, as it will develop a film. If this happens, add a small amount of water and whisk to incorporate until the icing returns to your desired consistency.
• Decorate the cookies with the royal icing and sprinkles. Let dry completely, at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
• Enjoy!
