Vegan Sugar Cookies

Vegan Sugar Cookies made with vegan butter, applesauce, and oat flour create a tender, slightly crisp cookie with a subtle almond and vanilla flavor. Rolled in sugar before baking, these cookies develop a light golden edge and a soft, set top. Suitable for those avoiding animal products, they offer a gentle sweetness and a delicate texture.

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons vegan butter at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons cane sugar divided, raw organic
  • 2 tablespoons applesauce unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl using an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter and 1/3 cup of sugar until well combined. Add in the applesauce, vanilla extract, and almond extract and beat until well mixed.
  3. Add all the remaining ingredients into the bowl and stir until a soft dough forms. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes so the dough is easier to work with.
  4. Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar on a plate and roll the cookies into lightly heaping 1-tablespoon balls. Roll your formed balls through the sugar and then place them on then prepared pan, pressing them down just slightly.
  5. Bake until the edges are a touch golden brown and the tops feel set (they firm up a lot once cooled!) about 10-11 minutes. Let cool on the pan complete
  6. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, weigh oat flour accurately as gluten-free baking can be sensitive to measurement.
