To start off, gather all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and your choice of milk. You can use regular dairy milk or opt for a non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk. The key to making these cookies eggless is using a good butter substitute, so make sure to use unsalted butter or a vegan butter option.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and ½ tsp of salt. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. This may take a few minutes, but it's important to ensure that the mixture is well combined.
Next, add in 1 tsp of vanilla extract and ¼ cup of milk to the butter and sugar mixture. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add in a splash of milk. If it's too wet, add in a little more flour.
Once the dough is formed, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. This will help the dough firm up and make it easier to roll out. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough is chilled, dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use your favorite Christmas cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
Once the cookies are cooled, it's time to get creative with decorating! You can use royal icing, sprinkles, or melted chocolate to decorate your cookies. If using royal icing, make sure to let it dry completely before storing or stacking the cookies.
Store these delicious eggless Christmas sugar cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. They also make for great gifts or treats for holiday parties. So go ahead and indulge in these tasty treats without worrying about any dietary restrictions. Happy baking!
