Celebration Sugar Cookies - Vegan

My son has finally completed all his paperwork is now officially ready to register for classes for the coming semester. I cannot be happier. So I decided to celebrate by making him these cookies. As usual these were inspired by the minimalist baker - where in all honesty I turn to for everything I want to cook.

Ingredients

1/2 cup vegan butter (such as Earth Balance; softened)

1/2 cup organic cane sugar (plus more for topping if you like)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup pumpkin puree* (egg substitute)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (plus more for rolling into shapes)

1/2 Tbsp cornstarch (for consistency)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1-2 tsp non-dairy milk

Materials needed

Mixing bowl and mixing spoon

Cookie sheet

Silicone baking mat

Parchment paper or wax paper

Cookie cutter (I used the top of a spice bottle)

Small bowl or dish

Add ingredients to bowl in list order, mix with mixing spoon until dough comes together in a bowl, a few minutes

Wrap dough in plastic or place in a freezer bag and freeze for 15 minutes

After 15 minutes, place dough on parchment paper, cover ball with parchment paper and roll or press until dough is about 1/4 inch thick

Turn oven on to 350 degrees F

Add sprinkles or sugar to small bowl or dish

Cut out cookies, coat with sugar or sprinkles or leave plain and place on Silicone baking mat

Bake for 10-12 minutes remove from oven and let cool

Eat and Celebrate!!!!!
