Dairy-Free Sugar Cookies

Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate medium bowl; set aside.

Beat the vegan butter and both sugars in the bowl of an electric stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture, then beat until well incorporated, about 30 seconds. If necessary, stop and scrape the sides down along the way so that all of the fat gets beaten well.

Add 1/2 cup of the flour mixture to the batter, then beat just until there is no trace of the dry ingredients. Continue to add the flour mixture in 1/2-cup increments until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated. The dough will be sticky.

Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cookie dough using a small ice cream scoop, then place onto the prepared baking sheets. You should have about 12 cookies on each baking sheet.

Bake until the edges and bottoms are barely beginning to turn golden brown, 10 to 11 minutes.

Let cool for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy!
