Melts in Your Mouth Sugar Cookies

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2/3 cup vege shortening
    2/3 soy margarine
    1 1/2 cups white sugar
    2 egg replacer substitute for eggs
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    Decorative frosting:
    2 cups confectioner's sugar
    4 teaspoon light corn syrup
    1/4 teaspoon almond extract
    4 or more teaspoon soy milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees F .

2. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, shortening, and sugar. Stir in the egg replacer and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour, salt, and baking powder until a soft dough forms.

3. The fun part: Roll out the dough to what thickness you desire(I find it easier to roll out the dough on waxed paper so it doesn't stick) and cut out your shapes.  Place the shapes on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.

4. Bake 10-12min in preheated oven.

5. Set aside to cool completely if you will frost them.

Decorate Frosting:

Mix the confectioner's sugar, almond extract, light corn syrup, and soy milk in a bowl. (You might need more soy milk add a little at a time until the right consistency and use food coloring of your choice) Happy Baking!

Serves: 24

Preparation time: 30 to make 10 min to bake

Since it's her own recipe, I'm guessing they're melt-in-your-mouth good!  Wink

I'll have to try that glassy looking frosting some time.  It's purdy!

Taste buttery and sugary. I find if you leave a little short of 10 min like 9 or so depending on how hot your oven gets the more softer the cookie. I put them on a cooling rack right away out of the oven so the bottoms dont brown to much from the pan. But if you want it crispy then let them stay the whole 10 min. The frosting you can add more confectioners sugar to make the right consistency so it's not runny. I used cake decorating piping tools I had lying around. Let me know how it goes.

These were so good.  Just like the ones from the bakery with the smiley faces on them...  THANK YOU for a vegan version.  Loved by vegans and others.  These will definitely become a family tradition.

White sugar isn't vegan because it is put through a filter that uses animal bones to bleach it, so I used organic cane sugar. It turned out exactly like a normal one.
I also didn't have shortening, so I used Tofutti sour cream and omitted the salt.
I made 2 batches, one crispy and one chewy, they are both amazing and I will definitely make these again.
And an fyi for whoever used the red food coloring, make sure it's a vegan coloring kit because red foods and coloring liquid are made with a chemical called "carmine" or "carminal acid," or "cochaniel." It comes from smashed abdomens of female shelled insects.

There is a white sugar, the 365 brand at Whole Foods, that is "Vegan Cane Sugar." It's not terribly expensive either.

NOMNOMNOM! I added some ground cardamom and cloves, and half lemon extract half vanilla. I also topped these with pine nuts. Super yummy with sweet tea! Great versatile easy peasy recipe, thanks! Smitten
