Decorating Tips

For a festive touch, roll the dough balls in colored sugar or sprinkles before baking to add a pop of color and extra sweetness. If you prefer a fancier look, once cooled, decorate them with vegan royal icing and top them with edible pearls or sprinkles for a sophisticated finish.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 stick of lightly softened vegan butter
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 1 egg substitute (prepared according to package directions)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat together the vegan butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
3. Stir in vanilla extract and egg substitute.
4. Gradually add the flour, baking soda and salt, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
5. Roll the dough into balls (golf ball size) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart to allow for spreading.
6. Bake for 11 minutes, or until the edges are just set but the center remains soft.
7. You can optionally sprinkle a little extra granulated sugar on each cookie immediately after baking.
8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these delicious soft and chewy vegan sugar cookies, a simple but delicious treat that brings warmth and joy to any occasion!
