Instructions
Vegan Sugar Cookies
Preheat the oven to 425
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the "flax eggs". Mix the flax seed meal with the warm water and set aside until a thick gel forms.
In a mixing bowl, mix the melted vegan butter, cane sugar, 2 flax eggs, vanilla, baking powder, oat or almond milk, and salt. Then, add the flour and mix until a thick dough forms.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use your hands to roll about a tablespoon of batter each into balls. Set each ball onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are lightly golden on the bottom and around the edges.
Option to make the vegan vanilla frosting by using an electric hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar, almond milk, melted vegan butter, and vanilla together. Spread over the cookies once they've cooled.
