Equipment

bowl & spoon
Rolling Pin
Halloween Cookie Cutters

Ingredients

½ cup Plant-Based Butter softened
¾ cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
3 tablespoon Almond Milk
2 cups All Purpose Flour
½ tablespoon Cornstarch
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Salt

Icing

4 cups Powdered Sugar
6-8 tablespoons Almond Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Preferred Colors of Food Dye recommended: black, brown, green, red & yellow OR orange, etc

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉.
Cream together the butter and sugar, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
Add the rest of the cookie ingredients and stir well, the dough should get tough and you may have to press it into a ball with your hands.
Flour your work space, such as a clean counter, table, or cutting board, roll out your dough, and use Halloween cookie cutters to cut out your cookies.
Lay out the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes and allow to cool before icing.
Repeat with the rest of the dough.
To make the icing, mix together the milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Separate the icing into as many small bowls as colors you would like to have. Then add the food dyes to the different bowls and stir well.
Ice the sugar cookies and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, ice the cookies with a base coat, allow the icing to solidify and then add any other desired icing, such as outlines.
Stores well at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
If trying to get a dark brown (or other darker color) icing, it might be best to mix a little black food dye in with the brown instead of simply more brown dye.
To make fine lines on the cookies, a piping bag and small round tip is recommended.
