Imagine the scent of sugar cookies baking in the oven. Here’s an easy recipe to make these classic cookies at home, and the decorating possibilities are endless.
What you need:
1½ cups vegan butter
1 cup unbleached cane sugar
6 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4½ cups unbleached flour
¾ cup tapioca flour
½ teaspoon salt
Dried fruit, chopped nuts, or frosting (optional)
What you do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Into a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, water, and vanilla until light and creamy. Add remaining ingredients and stir well to form a smooth dough. Cover and chill 1 hour or until firm.
- On a floured work surface, roll dough to desired thickness (⅛-inch for crispy cookies or ¼-inch for soft), cut into shapes with a knife or cookie cutters, and carefully transfer with a spatula to ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Allow cookies to cool slightly before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
