When preparing Vegan Soft Sugar Cookies, feel free to adjust the sugar based on your sweetness preference, especially if you’re not frosting them. If you need a gluten-free alternative, consider using a gluten-free flour blend that can substitute cup-for-cup. When sourcing ingredients, opt for high-quality vegan margarine for the best flavor, and ensure your tofu is extra-firm for the right texture.

Vegan Soft Sugar Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-firm silken tofu (mashed or pureed)
- 1/2 cup vegan margarine
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cream 1/2 cup vegan margarine and 1/2 cup sugar together for about 5 minutes until fluffy and light in color.
- Add 3 tablespoons of mashed extra-firm silken tofu and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the mixture and mix well until combined.
- Sift 1 1/4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the creamy mixture; stir until a soft dough forms.
- You have two options: roll out the dough for cookie cutters or scoop dough balls and flatten them with your hand on an ungreased cookie sheet. Aim for a thickness close to your desired cookie thickness, as the don’t rise much during baking.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for around 10 minutes, keeping an eye out for a light golden bottom.
- If the dough feels too wet, you might need to adjust the flour a bit. Also, remember that the cookies aren’t overly sweet; if you prefer a sweeter cookie and don’t plan on frosting them, adding an extra 2 tablespoons of sugar can help.
