Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Vegan butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons Decorative sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened vegan butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Add the non-dairy milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together and is soft but not sticky.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough into evenly sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or your palm to form a disc shape. Sprinkle decorative sugar on top if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy your soft and delightful vegan sugar cookies!
