vegan butter cookies

These vegan butter cookies are a classic holiday cookie, but you&#39;ll love them so much you&#39;ll make them year-round. They are soft and buttery and melt-in-your-mouth!

Vegan Butter Cookies

Vegan Butter ((225 grams))

White Granulated Sugar ((150 grams))

Tablespoons Soy Milk (or other non-dairy milk)

Vanilla Extract

All Purpose Flour ((281 grams))

Salt

Vegan Chocolate ((170 grams) Vegan Chocolate Chips)

Coconut Oil

Vegan Sprinkles (Nonpareil)

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Add vegan butter and white granulated sugar to the bowl of your stand mixer and cream them together until smooth.

Add soy milk and vanilla extract and mix them in.

Add all purpose flour and salt and mix in with a spoon into a cookie dough.

Place half of the cookie dough into a piping bag with a large piping tip (ideally an Ateco 826, 827 or 849 piping tip) and pipe swirl shaped cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

Repeat with the second half of the cookie dough and pipe the cookies onto a second parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake the cookies at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden on top.

Let the cookies cool down and firm up directly on the baking trays and when completely cool, add the chocolate topping.

Add vegan chocolate or chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, bringing it out to stir every 30-seconds until melted.

Dip the cookies in the melted chocolate and then place them back onto the parchment lined baking tray.

Decorate with sprinkles.

Place the cookies into the fridge for around 15 minutes for the chocolate to set.

These vegan butter cookies are rich and not too sweet. The texture is crisp, a little crumbly, and melt-in-your-mouth buttery.

(240 grams) vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)

(120 grams) sugar

(5 ml) vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt

(45 ml) aquafaba

½ cups (300 grams) all-purpose flour *see notes

In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together vegan butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add vanilla, salt, and aquafaba to the creamed butter mixture and beat for 5 minutes.

Mixing by hand, gradually add the flour. Mix until the dough is just blended. Avoid overmixing. The dough should be just firm but not stiff.

Fill a large piping bag fitted with a large star tip (or a cookie press), with the cookie dough. Pipe or press the cookies onto a cool cookie sheet, leaving a little space for the cookies to spread.

If desired, sprinkle cookies with coloured sanding sugar or top with a glacé cherry.

Bake until the cookies are just golden-brown around the edges, about 10-13 minutes.

Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.

For best texture, store vegan butter cookies lightly wrapped for 1 day before transferring to an airtight container. Freezer-friendly.

I have a lot of food intolerances including gluten and dairy and an allergy to eggs. I have been trying to mimic my mom's butter cookie recipe for 2 years. Thank you so much! They turned out almost perfect now that I know I was adding to much flour. I piped them on the cookie pan with a baggie but they are yummy. I may frost them tomorrow! I cried over throwing out cookies that were a disaster 2 days ago.

These cookies are amazing! I've made them a few times, as they go quickly. Even non-vegans say they're delicious.

I never leave comments on recipes, but these cookies were so good that I had to come thank you for the recipe! I followed everything (including weighing the ingredients), but I added a bit of lemon extract and WOW! Seriously some of the best homemade cookies I’ve ever had. 10/10!!!

I absolutely loved these cookies. I am addicted. I gave half of the batch as gifts and my partner got mad at me for giving them away haha. The only issue I had is that they lost a bit of shape and they flatened when I put them in the oven. Should I put them in the fridge first so they hold shape? The butter I used was one of those that are very solid when they are in the fridge, so I was surprised this happened. 
Thank you!!!

These simple and delicious cookies are easy to make and sure to be a hit at your next family or holiday gathering. The recipe is simple and easy to put together. And they’re made with a Spritz cookie press, so you can choose what designs you want and how to decorate them!
