You can use store bought milk, or you can Make Your Own Almond Milk (like a boss).
Oh, and Earth Balance is our favorite vegan butter, and it’s totes easy to find in both health food and mainstream grocery stores.

Total time
Ingredients
- 2 cups of strawberries (cut into quarters)
- 1 tbsp lemon Juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ cup plus 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold Earth Balance vegan butter
- ½ - ⅔ cups cold non-dairy milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine strawberries, lemon juice, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, ½ a cup of sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Spoon in the cold vegan butter, then rub it into the flour mixture with your hands until it gets all combined and crumbly-like.
- Slowly add in the cold non-dairy milk, bit by bit, mixing it in so that the mixture forms a dough. *NOTE: you might not need to use all of the milk, so add it in slowly!*
- Add the strawberry mixture into the dough and stir to combine. The dough should start to turn kinda pretty in pink. 🙂
- Use an ice cream scoop to spoon out mounds of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. leaving a little space between so the cookies have room to spread out.
- Sprinkle the tops with the remaining one tablespoon of granulated sugar, then pop in the oven for 25 minutes.
- When they’re done, use a spatula to transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool so the bottoms don’t get all soggy.
