These classic cutout cookies roll out beautifully and hold crisp, clean edges once cut with your favorite shapes, making them a fun weekend baking project for kids and adults alike. Flour, a touch of baking powder, and a splash of vanilla come together into a workable dough that chills up firm and bakes into cookies with just-set edges and soft centers. Once cooled, a smooth, pourable icing gets swirled with sifted powdered sugar and a hint of vanilla, then tinted any color you like for holidays, birthdays, or just because. The icing sets to a firm, matte finish that's sturdy enough for stacking or gifting. This one is a genuinely solid pick for an egg free kitchen, so you can keep the cutter collection out and the sprinkles ready to go.

¼ tsp salt
¾ cup dairy free butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
Chef's tip
For each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies.
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the icing

2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
3–4 tbsp dairy free milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
food coloring (optional)

Instructions

1
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Set aside.
2
Beat the softened dairy free butter and granulated sugar together in a large bowl with a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
