Ingredient Notes
Here are some ingredient notes, including possible substitutions and places were you can buy them (in Japan).
Maple Sugar – although you can use other granulated sugars, like brown sugar or coconut sugar, I highly recommend you use maple sugar (sold at Kaldi Coffee Farm). That’s what gives these cookies the yummy maple flavor.
Flour – use all-purpose flour if you have it. Since all-purpose flour is not common in Japan, I mix bread flour 強力粉 and cake flour 薄力粉 .
Non-dairy yogurt – my favorite is almond milk yogurt (sold at AEON supermarket). Other types of yogurt will also work.
Vegan Butter – I use Violife’s butter (sold at Aeon, Belc, Peacock). I do not recommend vegan margarine for this recipe, as it has too much water.
How To Make Vegan Maple Sugar Cookies
A detailed recipe is in the recipe card at the bottom of this post, but let me give you a quick overview of the process. It takes about 30 minutes to make these cookies.
Step 1: Make the dough
Add vegan butter (softened to room temperature) and maple sugar to a bowl, and use a hand mixer or egg beater to cream together and combine.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl. Use your hands to combine and form a dough.
Step 2: Cut out cookies
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to be 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) thick. To prevent the dough from sticking, flour the rolling pin and the top of the dough. Using a cookie cutter, cut out the cookies.
Transfer the cookies to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. These cookies won’t spread, so you can place them fairly close to each other.
Tip: When transferring the cookies, use a spatula and gently lift them off the surface and place them on the baking tray. This way, you won’t ruin their shape.
Step 3: Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 170C/350F for 10 minutes, until the edges just start to brown. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking tray, then place them on a cooking rack to cool completely.
Step 4: Glaze with icing
While the cookies are cooling, make the maple icing by mixing together powdered sugar, maple syrup and plant-based milk. Glaze the cookies any way you like: you could drizzle or spread the icing over the entire cookie, or use a piping bag to decorate them.
How many cookies from this recipe?
This is a small batch recipe, so you can get between 10~15 cookies, depending on the size of the cookie cutter. Feel free to double, or even triple, the recipe!
How to Store
Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 10 days at room temperature.
