I mean, seriously, look at them! How adorable are these cookies?!

I was so thrilled with the way these turned out and it is not an exaggeration today these are literally the easiest cookie I have ever made.

The ingredient list is embarrassingly simple.

All you need is a pre-made cookie dough mix and food coloring.

Then you whip up the dough and divide it in half.

Color each half and roll even portions of each color together.

And bake.

That’s it!

I was worried the colors would ‘bleed” together when mixing but, as you can see from the photos, that absolutely did not happen.

Is Sugar Cookie Mix Vegan?

  • Duncan Hines Sugar Cookie Mix is vegan! All you have to do to keep the cookies dairy-free is to use vegan butter and swap out the chicken egg for a “flax egg”.
  • There are also many other vegan sugar cookie mix brands available in the market including Enjoy Life Foods, Bob’s Red Mill, and Immaculate Baking Co.

How To Make a Flax Egg:

  • Add 1 tablespoon flaxseed and 2 1/2 tablespoons water to a small bowl. Whisk to combine, then refrigerate around 20-30 minutes, or until it reaches a gloopy egg-like texture.

Ingredients for Vegan Earth Day Cookies:

You will need:

  • prepared sugar cookie dough
  • blue food coloring
  • green food coloring

How to Make Vegan Earth Day Cookies:

STEP ONE: Divide prepared cookie dough in half and place in separate mixing bowls.
 
STEP TWO: To each bowl, add the desired amount of food coloring.
 
STEP THREE: Use a kneading motion to work the color into the dough, adding more as needed, until the desired color is achieved.
 
STEP FOUR: Roll together 1 teaspoon each of green and blue dough.
 
STEP FIVE: Place 2 inches apart on a prepared cookie sheet.
 
STEP SIX: Bake according to cookie dough package directions and serve.
 
Easy!
