What Makes This Recipe Unique?

Ingredient List

• 1 cup (2 sticks) vegan butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, etc.)
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup vegan sprinkles (plus extra for topping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and plant-based milk until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Gently fold in the vegan sprinkles.
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. Optional: Press a few extra sprinkles on top of each cookie.
9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still be slightly soft.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional Toppings/Variations

Feel free to get creative with your cookies! You can add a drizzle of melted vegan white chocolate or a sprinkle of coarse sea salt for an extra touch of flavor and texture. A light dusting of powdered sugar can also make them extra elegant.

Expert Tips

• Make sure your vegan butter is softened to room temperature for the creamiest results.
• Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients – mix until just combined to keep the cookies tender.
• Use a cookie scoop to ensure all your cookies are the same size and bake evenly.
• Don’t overbake them! They might look a little soft in the center, but they’ll continue to set as they cool.
• For extra-vibrant sprinkles, gently press them into the dough before baking.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Can I use a different type of flour? While all-purpose flour works best, you can try using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Just note the texture might be slightly different.
• Can I make the dough ahead of time? Yes! The dough can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just let it soften slightly before scooping.
• How do I store leftover cookies? Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
• Can I use other types of sprinkles? Absolutely! Use any type of sprinkles you like, or even a combination of different kinds.
• Can I add chocolate chips? Yes! Feel free to fold in vegan chocolate chips or chunks along with the sprinkles.
