Equipment

Baking pan lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat

Ingredients

1 (12-pack) sugar cookie dough (store-bought or homemade; I am using the dairy-free brand Sweet Lorens)
2 tbsp red decorating sugar
2 tbsp green decorating sugar
12 vegan chocolate drops (such as NoWhey Smooches; you can also make your own if you have the molds)

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), or follow the temperature recommended on your sugar cookie dough package. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
Prepare the cookies: Grab two small plates and add 2 tbsp red decorating sugar to one and 2 tbsp green decorating sugar to the other. Roll each dough ball in the sugar until fully coated, then place on the baking sheet. Roll six cookies in red and six in green.
Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges look set and the centers are still soft. They’ll continue to firm as they cool.
Note: Sweet Loren’s cookies may take 15–18 minutes, so adjust based on your package instructions.
Add the chocolate drops: While the cookies bake, unwrap your chocolate drops. Once the cookies come out of the oven, immediately press a vegan chocolate drop into the center of each one.
Cool and serve: Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely (but you can definitely enjoy them while warm!). Serve once fully set, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

Customizing Colors

You can use any dusting sugar to match the holiday or theme—blue for Hanukkah, gold for New Year’s, or rainbow for birthdays.

Storage

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days.
