Vegan Earth Day Cookies!

These super cute cookies are easy to make and absolutely perfect for Earth Day!

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?

Betty Crocker 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”.

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.
