Instructions
Vegan Christmas Cookies Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375. Prepare the flax eggs by mixing the flax seed meal and hot water together. Set aside for 2 minutes until a gel forms. Alternatively, you may use one regular egg in place of the 2 flax eggs.
- In a mixing bowl, mix the melted vegan butter, cane sugar, 2 flax eggs, vanilla, baking powder, almond milk, and salt. Then, add the flour and mix until a thick vegan sugar cookie dough forms. Option to fold sprinkles directly into the cookie or wait until the end to sprinkle them on top with frosting.
- 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 8-9 minutes for soft cookies or 10-11 minutes for firm cookies. They will be lightly golden on the bottom and around the edges.
- 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. They are delicious with and without frosting. Sprinkle the tops with Christmas sprinkles and enjoy!
