The Healthier Sugar Cookie is vegan and free from highly processed oils making them a HEALTHIER option. Made with only a few simple ingredients and super fun to make with the kids!

This is the time of year to bake up a storm of goodies! What’s so special about these sugar cookies is that they have the traditional sugar cookie taste and texture without the butter! Even vegan butter substitutes can be highly processed and contain additives. Don’t get me wrong, I love having vegan butter options and they are a great option to animal derived versions but that doesn’t mean we want to eat loads of it!

This recipe replaces the butter with a few tablespoons of coconut oil and almond milk, still creating that delicious buttery effect. Included in this recipe is a simple icing. The icing uses only 3 ingredients and is whipped up in a flash.

How to Make The Healthier Sugar Cookie

When creating this recipe, the goal was to make it easy! It’s as simple as beating together a few ingredients until a dough is formed. This dough needs to sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before rolling it out. Then the fun part! Using your favorite cookies cutters, cut out individual cookies and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, bake for 12-15 minutes. Let cool before applying the simple icing recipe detailed below.

Note: Most icing sugar is not technically vegan and uses animal products in its processing. I used the Wholesome Icing Sugar brand which is a completely vegan and organic option!
