VEGAN SNOWFLAKE SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Vegan Snowflake Sugar Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: organic sugar, refined coconut oil, vanilla extract, kosher salt, all-purpose flour, baking powder, unsweetened non-dairy milk, organic powdered sugar, vanilla extract, water, blue gel food coloring, sprinkles

Categories Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

½ cup organic sugar
¾ cup refined coconut oil, solid but not cold
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ teaspoon baking powder
5 tablespoons unsweetened non-dairy milk
3 cups organic powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons water
blue gel food coloring
sprinkles, of your choice, for decorating

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!

Tips:

Use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help the cookies spread properly and give them a tender texture.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and cutting it. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough. This will help the cookies have clean edges and prevent them from becoming misshapen.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before decorating them. This will help them set and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Snowflake sugar cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for holiday parties and gift-giving. By following these tips, you can make sure your cookies turn out perfect every time. So get creative and have fun with it!
