Easy Vegan Sugar Cookies
A super easy recipe for vegan sugar cookies made with just 8 ingredients.
Servings 25 cut out cookies
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut oil The oil should be firm, but easily scooped.
- ¾ cup raw sugar I use Florida's Crystals.
- 3 tbsp aquafaba * See Note
- 2 tablespoon non dairy milk I use almond.
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ½ cup white whole wheat flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease baking sheet or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine coconut oil and sugar in stand mixer or with a hand mixer.
- In another bowl whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
- Add aquafaba, milk, and vanilla to the oil and sugar mixture and beat 1-2 minutes until creamy and fluffy.
- Add flour mixture a little at a time to the bowl with wet ingredients and thoroughly combine.
- To use cookie cutters: Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes before rolling out on a floured surface and using cutters.
- To make without cookie cutters: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and roll into balls. This dough does not spread so flatten each ball with the palm of your hand to form cookie shape.
- Place cookies on baking sheet a couple of inches apart.
- Bake for 10 -12 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom.
Notes
Aquafaba is the liquid in a can of chickpeas. Just drain chickpeas over a bowl and save the liquid. You can also make these cookies without the aquafaba, simply use 3 tablespoon milk instead. The cookies are a bit more tender this way.
