Dairy & Egg Free Sugar Cookies

3D Christmas Tree Sugar Cookies

My friend Ashley at Reflecting on the Simple Things in Life brought over some amazing Christmas cookies earlier this month.  They were delicious and they were a huge hit with our family!  We have one family member that is not eating dairy and eggs so I adjusted Ashley’s recipe a little bit and the cookies came out delicious and beautiful (you would never know they didn’t have eggs and dairy)!  My Mom gave the girls these super cute 3D Christmas trees which the girls loved decorating and putting together.  Thankful for some time to spend with the family and enjoy special treats!

Sugar Cookies

  • 1 1/2 cups Non-Dairy Butter (soy or almond), softened
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 4 Egg Substitutes (Ener-G Egg Replacer is our favorite and lasts a long time too)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 5 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
Cream non-dairy butter and sugar until smooth.  Beat in egg substitute and vanilla.  Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.  Place cookie dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Next day:  Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 – 1/2 inch thick.  Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter.  Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.  Bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes.  Cool completely.
We decorated some of the cookies with sprinkles prior to baking.  The remaining cookies we decorated with icing after cooking.
Cookie Icing
  • 1 pound Powdered Sugar
  • 1 stick Non-Dairy Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup Non-Dairy Cream (coconut, almond, or soy milk)
  • Add Food Color or divide in multiple bowls and create a variety of colors

Blend together all the ingredients until smooth.  Chose one food color or divide up into multiple bowls and a variety of colors.
