Ingredients
  

For the cookies:
  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour, + extra for rolling out dough
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick [113 g]) vegan butter
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) vegan sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) nondairy milk
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
For the frosting:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick [113 g]) vegan butter
  • 3 cups (375 g) powdered sugar
  • 2+ tbsp (30+ ml) nondairy milk
For topping:
  • Vegan sprinkles

Method
 

  1. In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate, large bowl add the butter and sugar and beat until well creamed.
  3. Add the sour cream, milk, and vanilla. Beat again until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour about half of the dry mixture into the wet and fold in. Add the rest and combine.
  5. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Lightly flour a flat surface and place the chilled dough on top. Knead the dough a bit to incorporate more flour. It is ready once the dough no longer sticks to your hands.
  8. Roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thick. Using a circle cookie cutter or an upside down cup, cut out circles of the dough and place them on a lined baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 8-12 minutes (time varies on size and thickness of cookies) until they are no longer doughy and are golden.
  10. Make the frosting by beating the butter until it is creamy. Add in the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Mix in the milk, adding more to your preferred consistency.
  11. Once the cookies are cool, frost them and immediately top with sprinkles. Dig in!
