Vegan Frostings and Icings

Some frostings are made with butter, cream cheese, or other dairy “products,” and if you eat those, you support inherent cruelty to cows. Try these vegan varieties:

Duncan Hines Creamy Home-Style Frosting: Dark Chocolate Fudge, Classic Chocolate, Classic Vanilla, Cream Cheese, Coconut Pecan, and Lemon Supreme
Miss Jones Organic Frosting: Chocolate, Vanilla, and Confetti Pop
Wholesome! Organic Frosting: Chocolate, Vanilla, and Wild White Strawberry
Wilton Ready-to-Use Icing Tubes
DIY Vegan Buttercream Frosting from LovingItVegan

Vegan Sprinkles and Edible Glitters

When choosing sprinkles, watch out for confectioner’s glaze, which is made from the bodies of insects who didn’t want to die. Try these cruelty-free options and check labels from these brands that do carry some vegan options.

Vegan Food Colorings

When it comes to food coloring, avoid animal-derived ingredients—such as carmine (aka cochineal extract, crimson lake, and natural red 4), which comes from the female cochineal insect. Here are some vegan options:

Watkins Assorted Food Coloring
Color Garden Food Coloring
Color Kitchen Single Color Packets: Other varieties include Color Kitchen’s 10 Pack-Multi Color Box, its Color Set-3 pack, and the brand’s Vibrant 5 Color Pack.

Of course, don’t count out using dried fruits, coconut and nuts in your cookies to give it a little crunch or texture. The kids are gonna love these!!

Dried fruit is almost always vegan, but it’s not always. Prepacked dried fruit can have animal contaminants if it’s made in the same facilities that process eggs, dairy or meat. Some dried fruits can be considered non-vegan, like figs. So, if the label says eggs, dairy, meat or honey explicitly, you’ll want to avoid. Good to know right?

So, what’s your ideal cookie idea? For a holiday like Valentine’s Day, go for strawberry, red velvet, cherry chip or chocolate and make it happen with your favorite add-ins! For Birthdays, add in a cup of sprinkles and watch for big smiles! For holidays coordinate your cake mix with the holiday colors and add coordinating sprinkles on top with yummy, creamy frosting.

The possibilities are endless and delicious!
