Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 10 - 12 servings

Ingredients

Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup vegan "butter" softened (or organic vegetable shortening)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

Frosting:

  • 3 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegan "butter" softened (or organic vegetable shortening)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1 cup sprinkles I used homemade but if using store-bought I recommend naturally colored ones

Instructions

Cookies:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 C) and line a few cookie sheets with parchment or silicone mats. Cream "butter" and sugar in a large bowl, then scrape sides and beat in coconut cream, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Add flour a cup at a time and beat until dough is well mixed.
  2. Divide dough into halves and roll out each portion, one at time, on a lightly floured surface in a layer about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut desired shapes or just a sharp knife to cut squares. Place cookies side by side about 1/4 inch apart (no need for much spacing because these don't spread) and bake for 7 to 9 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Remove and cool completely before frosting.

Frosting:

  1. Beat "butter" in a large mixing bowl until creamed. Add vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar one cup at a time. Add milk and beat until light and fluffy. Fold in sprinkles with a rubber spatula and spoon mixture into individual little cups to serves with cookies!
