These Vegan Confetti Sugar Cookies are crispy, chewy, and absolutely delicious. The combination of vanilla, almond, and rainbow sprinkles makes for a perfect treat!
Happy Monday, my loves! I hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day. For me it was pretty quiet - my sweet husband had to work at the hospital so I was by my lonesome! It is also record-breakingly cold here in Texas at the moment, so I spent my day watching baking shows on Netflix and, of course, doing some baking myself! My husband requested these Vegan Confetti Sugar Cookies for V-Day and I just had to oblige. And now, here is the recipe so you can make them too!
These confetti sugar cookies are super easy to make, and so delicious! I whipped these up in less than 30 minutes between the prepping and baking. The cookies are chewy, sweet, and I am just obsessed with the fun rainbow sprinkles! You could certainly skip the sprinkles but... I think they're the best part. If you're not a big fan of chocolate, these cookies are the perfect treat to fulfill your cravings!
What do I need for these confetti sugar cookies?
- Vegan sugar - of course you need sugar for these sugar cookies! As always, I recommend an organic or certified vegan sugar for your recipes. I like Zulka from the grocery store, or Costco sells a great organic granulated sugar, too!
- Vegan butter - a must in all cookie recipes. My favorites are EarthBalance and Country Crock avocado oil butter since they have a great neutral flavor.
- Shortening - I use both butter and shortening in my cookie recipes! The butter adds in a delicious buttery flavor, and the shortening helps with the structure so they aren't too runny and spread out. I prefer a "clean" or organic brand of shortening for better flavor and less chemical-y aftertaste.
- Aquafaba - this is my favorite egg replacer for cookies! Aquafaba, aka chickpea brine, very closely mimics egg whites and works perfectly to bind the mixture together without making it too dense.
- Sprinkles - the best part of the recipe!! Again, be mindful that not all sprinkles are vegan-friendly due to the food coloring & the shellac. The ones I used today are from Sweets & Treats!
- Vanilla extract - a must for all baked goods, but especially in these sugar cookies since the recipe is so simple. I love Rodelle vanilla for a great tasting, sweet flavor.
- Almond extract - this is my secret ingredient for any "confetti-flavored" baked goods. The mixture of vanilla and almond extract lends the perfect birthday cake kind of flavor!
- Flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
I hope you guys will give these vegan confetti sugar cookies a try! They are absolutely delicious and so simple to make. They are my husband & I's favorites!
