Eggless Dairy-Free Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

– 1/2 cup dairy-free butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Sprinkles or colored sugar for decorating (optional)

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the dairy-free butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

6. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the cookie dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. Flatten each dough ball with the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand to about 1/4 inch thickness.

8. If desired, decorate the cookies by sprinkling colored sugar or sprinkles on top of each cookie.

9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
