VEGAN SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• For the vegan sugar cookies: Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the almond milk, then continue to beat until smooth and combined. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until combined. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then beat on low speed until a dough comes together; it should be similar in texture to Play-Doh. If the dough seems too dry, add the remaining 1 tablespoon almond milk, then stir again until combined.
• Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and roll it into a smooth and even log that's about 2 inches wide and 8 1/2 inches long. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled through, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Unwrap the log of dough and trim the ends with a sharp chef's knife. Cut the dough into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, then transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, until the tops and edges are set and the bottoms are just starting to turn golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the vegan icing: Once the cookies are cool, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and almond milk in a small bowl until a smooth icing forms; it should be thick enough to spread on a cookie without dripping off the sides. If the icing is too thick, add an extra 1 to 2 teaspoons of almond milk until the desired consistency is achieved. Leave the icing plain or tint with food coloring.
• Use a small offset spatula to spread the icing onto the cooled cookies and immediately top with some sprinkles. Return to the wire rack until set, about 15 minutes. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
