I looove sugar cookies. The recipe is so simple, they bake quickly, and you can decorate to your hearts content! I got this recipe from Chole Coscarelli’s book Chole’s Vegan Desserts. The only tweak I made was adding vanilla to the icing. If you have a food processor this is amazingly easy. I’d never made cookie dough in a processor before, now I’ll never do it by hand again!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all propose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup vegan margarine
- 3-4 Tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cookie Icing : This makes a lot so maybe half it unless you're making a lot of cookies
- 1/3 cup vegan margarine
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 4-5 Tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
Method
Step 1
Preheat over to 350°
Step 2
In food processor, combine flour, sugar, and baking soda. Add margarine, 3 Tablesppons water, and vanilla. Pulse until doughy and add more water if needed.
Step 3
Stick the dough in the fridge for 5-10 minutes while you dust a work surface with flour. Roll out half the dough about 1/4 inch thick and cut out shapes with a cookie cutter. Leave a good amount of space between cookies (on a splat sheet or backing parchment paper) I didn't leave room and some baked into each other.
Step 4
Bake 10-12 minutes or until the edges brown. I turned my pans around after 5 minutes and the larger pan took almost 20 minutes to bake...I made them a little thick.
Step 5
You can ice the cookies after they are completely cooled.
Step 6
For the icing: Combine all ingredients adding the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Use a food processor or hand mixer whisk
