Ingredients
- ½ cup plant-based Butter softened
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ cup Oat Milk
- 2 ¼-2 ½ cups Flour + more for rolling out dough
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Icing
- 6 cups Powdered Sugar
- 8-12 tablespoons Oat Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- Food dye colors of your choice, but green, red, black, yellow, and blue are great choices
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter and sugar, then stir in the vanilla and oat milk.
- Add 2 cups of flour, the cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Stir until it turns into a dough. If sticky or too soft, add more flour, ¼ cup at a time.
- Flour a clean surface, or large cutting board, and roll out the dough to under a ¼ inch thick.
- Use your cookie cutters and cut out shapes from the dough and place on the lined cookie sheets until full. There does not need to be much room around each cookie, but they also should not be touching.
- Bake the cookies for 7 to 10 minutes. The thinner you made the dough, the less time they will take. Be sure to remove them before the tops start to turn golden. You will need to bake these cookies in batches.
- While the cookies are baking, make the icing by mixing together all of the ingredients, except the food dye, separating the icing into the number of colors you want into separate bowls, adding the food dye and stirring well.Then place each color in separate piping bags or plastic bags, snipping the corner of the plastic bags after being filled.
- Once the first batch of cookies are cool and the icing is made, decorate as you please before eating!
Notes
- Be sure to keep on eye on the cookies in the oven, they will go from white dough to golden in little time, start checking on them around 6 minutes, possibly delegating this task to an excited child who understands what to look for, if possible.
- While rolling, be sure to flour the top of the dough and the rolling pin to help prevent sticking.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
- To ensure these are vegan, be sure all ingredients you buy are vegan, especially be careful you’re buying vegan butter, sugar, and food dyes.
- Time to make these does not account for decorating them.
