Ingredients
  

Cookie
  • 2 tbsp (28 g) vegan butter (cold)
  • 1 tsp vegan sour cream (or yogurt)
  • 3 tbsp (37 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp nondairy milk
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (41 g) all-purpose flour (measured correctly*)
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
Frosting
  • 1 tbsp (14 g) vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup (31 g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp nondairy milk plus more as needed
  • Vegan gel food coloring (optional)
For topping
  • Vegan sprinkles

Method
 

  1. Make the cookie: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place a square of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, sour cream and sugar until well incorporated (we typically use a fork to do this).
  3. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until well combined.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until just combined.
  5. Form into a ball and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until puffy and very lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
  6. Make the frosting: In a small bowl, beat the butter, powdered sugar and milk. Add more milk in small increments (~1/4 tsp at a time) as needed to reach a smooth, spreadable consistency. If desired, stir in a small amount of food coloring.
  7. Frost the cooled cookie with the frosting. Top with desired amount of sprinkles. Enjoy!

Notes

Measure the flour correctly using the spoon-and-level method (scoop into your measuring cup and remove the excess with the back of a knife).
