Soft & Fluffy, Vegan Sugar Cookies
Holiday decorating is made easy with these soft & fluffy, vegan, cut-out sugar cookies. Vegan, gluten-free & nut-free.
Ingredients
Soft Sugar Cookies
- 3 cups Bob's 1-to-1 Gluten-free flour blend (or All-purpose flour )
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dairy-free butter at room temperature (Earth Balance is our favorite to use)
- 1 cup vegan cane sugar
- 1 vegan egg (such as Neat Egg or Bob's Egg Replacer)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup dairy-free sour cream (such as Tofutti or Follow Your Heart)
Easy Icing
- 1/3 cup dairy-free butter, room temperature
- 2-3 cups vegan confectioner's sugar, sifted
- 2-3 tablespoon non-dairy creamer or milk
- natural food color if desired
Instructions
Sugar Cookie Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Using your stand-up mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy (approx 2 minutes). Add sugar and blend well then add egg replacer and vanilla extract. Lastly add the sour cream and mix just until incorporated. Slowly add your flour mixture while on low until blended.
Roll dough into a large bowl then cut in half. Place each half on a sheet of plastic wrap then press into a large disk shape. Cover with wrap and refrigerate until chilled and firm (2 hours is best).
Preheat oven to 350° and remove 1 of the chilled discs. Flour your working surface then roll out dough into 1/8" thick disc. Cut out into desired shape with your cookie cutters and place on parchment lined cookie sheets. Re-roll scraps, cut out more cookies then repeat with remaining dough from second chilled disc.
Bake until bottoms are lightly golden, 7-9 minutes. Transfer for cooling rack and let cool before icing.
Homemade Icing Instructions
In your mixing bowl, add your softened butter and beat until light and fluffy. Slowly add sifted confectioners sugar. Icing will be pretty thick so drizzle in creamer, a little at a time until smooth but not watery. Also add a drop of two of your coloring and mix together.
Once cookies have cooled, frost as desired using a piping bag or spread with offset spatula.

The cookies look great! I just wish I was a better baker!
Jennifer, these really are quite easy to make and to keep it extra simple, just spread on your icing instead of piping.
These look like a nice tender cookie. I’ve never used the packaged egg replacer, but it sounds so convenient.
I am about to get started on my holiday baking – I’ll have to try your recipe!
Happy holiday baking !
I LOVE my JORD watch. I might have to get another one in blue like you! Thanks for the recipe.
One can never have too many pretty watches, right?
There are just too many treats in this post! Those cookies look perfect and that watch – GORGEOUS! Love the blue face on it.
Thanks Alisa. That color was my fav!
Love that the watch is also teal! Hello beautiful and allergy friendly 😀 That would be a great allergy mom present!
You’re so right, a great allergy-mom present for sure (or just a great present for someone whose celebrating their 2 year Blogiversary).
The sugar cookies are so pretty! I love the color of the face of the JORD watch. So pretty.
The teal was what sold me….its a constant reminder of being an allergy-mom!
That watch is beautiful! The craftsmanship is so impressive. Nobody willl ever guess those cookies are vegan!
Santa is such a nice guy that I’m sure he is vegan! I bet he’d love a big plate of these cookies, too. (I want a big plate of them as well!)
I’m sure his reindeer friends encouraged it as well :0
Your cookies are so beautifully decorated, Nicole! That is a skill I’m lacking in, haha! Teach me your ways!
Linda, that’s sweet! The trick is to pick an easy design and use a skinny tip!
They look so so perfect <3
Thank you Aimee!
Any substitutions for the vegan sour cream since I dont have in the fridge? Applesauce or no substitution?
Oh I’m not sure on that but you could try it without. The sour cream works like a yogurt would, to shorten the cookies.
Any substitutions for the 1 vegan egg (such as Neat Egg or Bob’s Egg Replacer)???
I don’t have them
And What happens if i don’t use the vegan sour cream
You can use vegan cream cheese (just blend it a little) or yogurt, blended silken tofu all would work in its place. As for egg replacer, you can also use a flax egg but just note that it will show little flecks of brown from the flax.
