Did I set out to make a Vegan Funfetti Sugar Cookie recipe? No but it happened and I’m so happy about it. I started playing around with a lemon sugar cookie earlier this summer and during one of the trials, I saw the sprinkles in the pantry and thought, that would be a lot more fun so in they went and out came the most delicious, colorful cookie.
Vegan baking can be intimidating. In fact I avoided it for quite some time. I think I mentioned that in my Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookie recipe. Once I started baking without dairy or eggs, it became a fun challenge and I got addicted to it. There are plenty of options for substituting these products when baking that work well but are not everyday products. The beautiful thing about this recipe is that it doesn’t call for any unusual ingredients and it’s so quick – all you need is 10 pantry staple ingredients and about 30 minutes and you’ll be sinking your teeth into a soft sugar cookie.
Just like a traditional cookie recipe, the butter and sugar are creamed together first. I have made these with a couple different plant based butters including vegetable oil based, cashew cream based, and avocado oil based. They all work well so use whichever you have on hand! Then add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and non-dairy milk and mix to combine. Mix all the dry ingredients in another bowl and then combine. Now the fun part – the sprinkles! Fold them in, roll the dough into balls, and bake for 10-11 minutes. Allow to cool for at least a few minutes before diving in!
