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

Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

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!

PERFECT VEGAN SUGAR COOKIES AND ICING



Perfect Vegan Sugar Cookies and Icing image

Kristie and I baked these vegan sugar cookies from scratch for an annual harvest party that several vegan friends were attending. We were surprised how well they turned out. The cookies were just hard enough to keep their shape, but soft when bitten. They tasted buttery and melted in your mouth. The icing was glossy, smooth, and sweet. Like the cookies, the icing was just hard enough to allow stacking, but soft to bite. They were a hit at the party!

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



How to Make the Best Sugar Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, granulated sugar, cream cheese, large egg, large egg yolks, McCormick® vanilla extract, McCormick® almond extract, kosher salt, all purpose flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, powdered sugar, kosher salt, vanilla extract, gel food coloring, water, pasteurized egg white

Provided by Scott Loitsch

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 17

24 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon McCormick® vanilla extract
½ teaspoon McCormick® almond extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
4 cups powdered sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
gel food coloring, of your choice
water, as needed
¼ cup pasteurized egg white

Steps:

  • Make the cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes, until fluffy and the sugar is mostly dissolved. Scrape down the bowl as needed to evenly beat the mixture.
  • Add the egg, egg yolks, vanilla, and almond extract and mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the salt, then sift the flour, baking powder, and cream of tartar into the bowl and fold to incorporate some of the flour. Then beat on low speed, just until incorporated and the dough comes together.
  • Shape the dough into a flat disc and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 3-4 days.
  • When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cookie dough with a rolling pin to ¼-inch (6mm) thick.
  • Dip cookie cutters of your choice in some extra flour and cut out shapes from the dough. Gather any excess dough into a ball and chill in the fridge to firm, then re-roll and cut out more cookies. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and chill for at least 20 minutes to ensure they hold their shapes.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just barely start to turn golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before decorating with royal icing or frosting.
  • To make the royal icing, sift the powdered sugar into a large bowl and add the salt. On one side of the bowl, add the vanilla and egg whites.
  • Where you added the liquids, begin whisking the powdered sugar into the liquids, gathering a bit more as you whisk to prevent lumps from forming, until all of the powdered sugar is incorporated. Add food coloring, if desired, and whisk to incorporate. You can divide the icing into smaller bowls to make more than one color. At this point, the icing should be a good consistency for piping borders. If you'd like the frosting to be looser to flood or dip your cookies, add a few tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Decorate the cookies as desired.
  • Enjoy!

THE SOFTEST SUGAR COOKIES EVER RECIPE BY TASTY



The Softest Sugar Cookies Ever Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, egg, sour cream, vanilla extract, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, milk, food coloring, sprinkles

Provided by Julie Klink

Categories     Desserts

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
food coloring, for decorating
sprinkles, for decorating

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt to combine.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix until creamy. Add the flour mixture, a third at a time, until fully combined.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and turn out the dough. Press the dough together into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the dough and lightly flour a work surface. Roll out the dough to about ½-inch thick. Cut out circles using a glass or cookie cutter.
  • Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch in between cookies. Bake for 8 minutes, until the cookie bottoms are golden brown and the tops are pale. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
  • Make the frosting: in a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric hand mixer until fluffy. Sift in the powdered sugar and mix until incorporated. Add the milk and continue to beat until the frosting is smooth and velvety. Add food coloring, if desired.
  • Frost the cooled cookies and decorate as you wish.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies spread properly in the oven.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Use a cookie cutter to cut out the dough into desired shapes. If the dough is too sticky, chill it for a few more minutes before cutting.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These vegan snowflake sugar cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, nonpareils, or royal icing. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
