Vegan Sugar Dream Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Sift flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.
• Cream sugar and vegan margarine with an electric mixer in a bowl, about 2 minutes; add vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture. Add coconut milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/4 to 1/2-inch thickness. Dip cookie cutter in flour; cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• For the vegan sugar cookies: Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the almond milk, then continue to beat until smooth and combined. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until combined. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then beat on low speed until a dough comes together; it should be similar in texture to Play-Doh. If the dough seems too dry, add the remaining 1 tablespoon almond milk, then stir again until combined.
• Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and roll it into a smooth and even log that's about 2 inches wide and 8 1/2 inches long. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled through, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Unwrap the log of dough and trim the ends with a sharp chef's knife. Cut the dough into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, then transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, until the tops and edges are set and the bottoms are just starting to turn golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the vegan icing: Once the cookies are cool, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and almond milk in a small bowl until a smooth icing forms; it should be thick enough to spread on a cookie without dripping off the sides. If the icing is too thick, add an extra 1 to 2 teaspoons of almond milk until the desired consistency is achieved. Leave the icing plain or tint with food coloring.
• Use a small offset spatula to spread the icing onto the cooled cookies and immediately top with some sprinkles. Return to the wire rack until set, about 15 minutes. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F Beat margarine, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually add the oil.
• Combine the baking powder with a little flour, and beat into the dough. Knead in the rest of the flour.
• Divide the dough in half and roll each piece into a rope. Cut each rope into 25 pieces and roll into balls.
• Place on a a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Press an almond half into each ball.
• Bake on the center oven rack for about 20 minutes, or until just starting to turn golden.
