All of these occasions are a classic vegan sugar cookie based on my mom’s recipe for easy sugar cookies—now a third-generation recipe, that I’ve been handing out to my sons. Originally, this sugar cookie recipe wasn’t vegan, but I’ve worked with these cookies over time to create this simple, vegan sugar cookie with just a few ingredients that is truly a fail-proof recipe. This is a very special sugar cookie – you’re supposed to take a lot of time while you toss the dough and decorate each one – each cookie is a real gift. It’s about making something special. You can turn this recipe into sugar cookies with cream, with this simple recipe I have included for decorating sugar cookies.
When my kids were little, I made these vegan sugar cookies for every holiday, rolling out cookies and cutting them into shapes to match the occasion — Easter, birthday parties, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, and of course, Christmas. My boys love to help me decorate their Christmas sugar cookies. I’ve been collecting cookie cutters for years, and I inherited some from my mother, too. Just prepare the dough, cool it slightly, roll it out, cut it into shapes using cookie cutters and decorate the cookies. I also collect cookie decorations when I travel – many of the ones featured in my photos here are from trips to Europe, where they have a lovely baking tradition. But you can find cookie decorations anywhere! I like to use raisins, chocolate chips, nuts, and seeds (ex Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds), sprinkles, raisins, and coconut. It’s all about using your creativity!
