Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Vegan butter (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Vegan butter (for frosting)
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (for frosting)
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 0.25 teaspoon Pink food coloring (vegan-friendly)
• 3 tablespoons Vegan sprinkles

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened vegan butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to ensure a soft texture.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cookies cool, make the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the powdered sugar and softened vegan butter using an electric mixer until smooth.

Step 11

Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the frosting mixture and beat until creamy. Add the pink food coloring a little at a time, mixing until the desired shade is achieved.

Step 12

Once the cookies are completely cool, spread the pink frosting on each cookie using a butter knife or offset spatula.

Step 13

Top the frosted cookies with vegan sprinkles, pressing them gently into the frosting to adhere.

Step 14

Allow the frosting to set for about 15 minutes before serving or storing the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
