Description

Eggless sugar cookies are a delightful twist on the traditional sugar cookie, offering a soft, buttery texture without the need for eggs. Perfect for those with egg allergies, dietary preferences, or when you’re simply out of eggs, these cookies are versatile and easy to make. They can be customized with various flavorings and toppings, making them ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (or vegan butter for dairy-free)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
2 tablespoons cream cheese or yogurt (egg substitute)
A pinch of salt
Optional add-ins: cinnamon, chocolate chips, fresh berries, or sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy using a mixer.
Stir in the vanilla extract and your choice of egg substitute (cream cheese or yogurt).
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface.
Cut out shapes using cookie cutters and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before decorating or storing.

Notes

You can store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. For decoration, add sprinkles or icing once the cookies have cooled completely.
