Can You Make This Eggless Sugar Cookies Without Milk & Butter?
Yes, you can make these eggless sugar cookies without milk as well.
In this recipe, I used ¼ cup of milk, so you may replace the milk with same amount of almond milk or even water but it may also affect the flavor of the cookies.
Also, if you want the recipe to be totally dairy free to make it vegan, you may also replace the regular butter with oil or vegan butter.
However, for the best flavor and texture, I recommend following the recipe exactly using milk & butter.
How To Make Eggless Sugar Cookies Without Brown Sugar?
We need the following ingredients to make sugar cookies without eggs.
all purpose flour 1.5 cups (will need more for dusting and rolling)
baking powder 1 teaspoon
salt a pinch
sugar ¾ cup
butter ½ cup melted (at room temperature)
whole milk ¼ cup
vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Steps To Follow (The Process)
To make the cookie dough:
First, mix together the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Combine melted butter and sugar until sugar is dissolved, in another bowl.
Also add the milk and vanilla extract to the butter sugar mixture and mix well to combine.
Transfer the wet ingredients mixture to the bowl containing the dry flour mixture, and mix well using your hands to form the cookie dough.
In case its difficult to get the right texture and consistency needed for cookie dough, you can add a little oil (one tablespoon at a time) and knead again to make the dough.
Refrigerate cookie dough for about 30 minutes.
To roll the cookies:
Add a little flour to a flat surface(where you are going to work with the cookie dough) and let’s start rolling the dough.
Roll the dough flat (about ¼ inch thick) using a rolling pin and cut out any shapes using cookie cutters.
You may need to add more flour if needed (one tablespoon flour at a time), to roll the dough perfectly so you can easily cut out the cookies.
For example, if the dough is little sticky, it may be difficult to roll and cut the cookies, so you will need to add little more flour, as you roll the dough.
Once the cookies are cut out from the rolled dough, you can knead and roll the remaining dough again and make more cookie shapes.
Keep in mind that you will need to bake the cookies in two batches since you cannot overcrowd the cookie sheet, so once you have made enough cookie shapes for the first batch, you can refrigerate the remaining dough (after kneading the remaining dough) until its ready to roll and make the cookies again.
You may also make round cookies by making cookie balls and just pressing the balls gently with your palm.
To bake the cookies:
Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.
Layer a cookie sheet with parchment paper of aluminium foil and place the cut out cookies in a single layer (you may also add colorful sprinkles to the cookies). Make sure to leave enough space in between the cookies.
Bake the cookies in the oven for about ten minutes. To make the cookies crunchy and crispy, you can bake them for a couple more minutes.
Every oven is different, so you may need to adjust the cooking times slightly as needed.
Once the sugar cookies are baked, immediately transfer the baked cookies from the oven to avoid over baking of the cookies (which will make them hard).
When the cookies are taken out of the oven, they will look too soft, but give enough time for the cookies to cool down and they will turn out perfect!
Once the cookies are cooled completely, transfer the cookies to the cookie jars or serve them with a cup of coffee, tea or milk!
Similarly make cookies from the remaining cookie dough too.
Do You Like Your Sugar Cookies Crispy & Crunchy Or Soft?
Whether you want your cookies to be crunchy and crispy or soft, there are certain things that you need to keep in mind.
To get soft cookies, do not roll the cookie dough too thin. Also you should not bake the cookies too long if you want soft cookies.
As directed in the recipe, a baking time of 10 minutes is usually enough to make soft cookies.
However, once you take the cookies out of the oven, they may look too soft and you may be tempted to bake them again for more time.
Patiently wait until the cookies have cooled down completely and now you can see that you have got that perfect soft cookies that you wanted!
This is because the cookies will look too soft while they are still hot and will harden further as they cool down. I have noticed that it is easy to make sugar cookies with large shapes (using large sized cookie cutters).
Also the round cookies that you can easily make without any cookie cutters (by making balls which is slightly pressed by your palms) will give you soft cookies.
If you want crispy and crunchy sugar cookies, the best practice is to roll the cookie dough relatively thin and make small shapes using cookie cutters.
I have noticed that the star cookies and the moon shaped cookies that I made turned out to be more crispier in texture.
Also bake them for a couple more minutes until its beginning to turn lightly brown in color around the edges, and then immediately transfer them from the oven, and allow the cookies to completely cool down to get the perfect crispy and crunchy sugar cookies.
