Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup vegan butter “I can’t believe it’s not Butter has a vegan version that I like and “Earth Balance” butter is always vegan
  • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar also known as confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour or flour of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions
 

  • First use a hand mixer to beat the butter until it is smooth (you may want to leave the butter to sit out of the fridge for a while before you begin baking so it is easier to mix).
  • Add the sugar and then mix again until you get a smooth consistency.
  • Keep adding the rest of the ingredients and mixing.
  • After all of your ingredients are combined, wrap your dough tightly in a plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least an hour*.
  • When you are ready to roll out your dough, flour the surface on which you will be rolling it out and flour your rolling pin also. Roll out your dough.
  • Cut out your shapes and have fun!! I made mine snowflake shaped because I was making them for Christmas, but you can make them into whatever shape you like!
  • Bake for about 8-10 minutes on 350 degrees. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
  • Decorate!!!

Notes

If you are not planning on cutting your sugar cookies into shapes, you don’t necessarily have to refrigerate the dough- you can just place the dough on the cookie sheet and bake right away. However, if you are going to be cutting out shapes you definitely need to refrigerate it. I did not do this the first time around and the dough was really sticky and mushy and I could not form shapes or even roll it out. I ended up adding more flour instead, but this just made the cookies taste really flour-y and not good. Don’t add more flour if this is the case, just refrigerate the dough for longer!
