Vegan Soft Bake Strawberry Lemonade Cookies

I still can’t believe summer is almost over! It’s my favorite season (next to fall) to do desserts as countless fruit varieties are thriving and I organically just crave fruit more with the warmer temperatures. One of my personal favorite combos is strawberry lemonade. If you don’t know by now, I love all things lemon! I find citrus concepts refreshing, not overwhelming to the tastebuds like chocolate.
That being said, in wrapping up summer concepts (tear), I had a craving for something strawberry lemonade and these vegan Soft Baked Strawberry Lemonade Cookies were born! In addition to all things citrus I love soft bake cookies. Crispy cookies are good, but I’m all about the soft!

Delicious and pillowy!
I made some substitutions so they appeal more to kids.
I doubled the recipe, replaced 1/3 of the powdered sugar with strawberry fruit spread, increased the flour to make up for it. I used Silk vanilla soy (what I had). I stuck the batter in the fridge to make it a *little bit* easier to handle (no problem, the more doughy goodness to lick off the fingers).
Since it’s an elementary school’s spring treat day, I made frosting–and playing on the fact they turn out like luscious little clouds, I added blue food coloring and rainbow decorations.
I actually made these for Christmas this year! In my family we like to make all kinds of different Christmas cookies. Everyone loved them! Thank you so much for this recipe. These cookies were really a hit!
Hi Erin! This made my year, I love hearing about recipe success! Wishing you all the best in 2020!
LOVE these cookies! The lemon and strawberry really come through and they’re very soft and cake-y. I actually forgot the vanilla but they were still amazing! I bet they’re even better when all the ingredients are there 🙂
These look so pretty! Question: is the “powdered sugar” in the dough and the “confectioners’ sugar” in the icing supposed to be two different ingredients? I always thought those terms meant the same thing – finely ground sugar with cornstarch added.
Hi Robin, Yes, those are the same ingredient. Why both terms are mentioned I’m not sure. Sorry if that created confusion!
