Instructions
How To Make Cookies
- Beat butter, sugar and vanilla together until creamy.
- Add corn starch paste and beat until creamy, don't worry if it curdles slightly.
- In another bowl, sieve all flour, baking soda and salt together and mix with a whisk.
- Add flour mix to butter mix, and using your hands mix together to form a soft dough. If it's sticking to your fingers add more flour until it forms a soft dough ball.
- Cover and leave in fridge for at least an hour or even over night.
- Pre heat your oven to 180C/356F. Grease and line 1 large baking tray with baking paper.
- Remove dough from fridge and flour a clean surface
- Roll dough to 1.5CM thick and cut out 6 cookies using a large cookie cutter. See video for tips on how to get perfectly shaped cookies.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 mins or until tops are just firm and cookie is slightly golden brown. Remove from oven and leave to cool down.
How To Make Glaze
- In a small bowl, mix together icing sugar, vanilla and soy milk to form a thick but runny glaze. The glaze should form ribbons on top of the mixture for a moment. If not, add more icing sugar.
- Dunk cooled cookies into glaze and then into sprinkles and let set for 30 mins before eating. See my YouTube video for extra tips on how to make the cookies perfect!
Hi Sara,
I love seeing the recipes you publish, I haven’t actually tried any yet I’m just being a a bit of a stalker on the vegan sites. My daughter is moving home and being the mum that cooks all things sweet, vegan-ism isn’t really fitting in with the lashings of cream and butter I use.
But I must say seeing your recipes has given me hope of copping, they are as I imagined I would do with my own recipes just swapping butter with a vegan option and basically little tweaks.
Thank you for the great recipes they all look great and Think they’ll satisfy the non vegans, I can’t wait to try some.
After all that my question is about these pretty biscuits, I presume it’s fine to freeze them? I’m thinking they’ll make nice Christmas cookies.
Hey Naomi
Yes, these freeze great!
Glad you’re enjoying the recipes.
Good luck xixi
Sara
Making these today but noticed an error in the measurements? Could you please verify the measurements for the cornstarch paste? I tried as written ( 1 TBS mixed with 3 tbs) and it was too runny. Did you mean 3 tsp? If yes, I tried that too and it was runny? Looking forward to them regardless of measurements!
Thx
Sara L.
Hey Sara
Yes, it’s 1 tbs corn starch with 3 tbs water. It’s okay that it’s runny.
It’s a fun recipe! Let me know how you go.

What brand vegan sprinkles do you use dear?
Fancy Sprinkles have a vegan range https://fancysprinkles.com xo
I love all your recipes and photos, they both look delish!!! Do I haveto roll these out? Is there any way I can just make and bake lol thank you!
Hey Katy
Thanks so much! You could roll them into a small ball between your hands and then push them flat with the back of a teaspoon…
Sara thanks for tbe recipe. What vegan butter do you recommend or do you make your own? I used to be able to get Naturli but haven’t been able to get the vegan block butter for some time. Rita
Hey Rita
I use Naturli as well but nuttelex works great too.
