Sweet crisp Dairy Free Sugar Cookies topped with creamy Coconut Oil Frosting are the perfect sweet treat for your Valentine!

Dairy Free Sugar Cookies {with Coconut Oil Frosting}

Just because something is Dairy Free or Gluten Free doesn’t mean it has to be Flavor Free.  These Dairy Free Sugar Cookies are a perfect example of that!

My daughter was home from college for the weekend and I decided to send her back with a little sweet treat that she could enjoy.

She suffers from a lactose intolerance and can’t enjoy too many sweet treats without popping a few Lactaid pills.Long pinnable  graphic. Top image of a cookie with a bite taken out of it. Bottom picture is of a plate of sugar cookies topped with coconut oil frosting and a fresh raspberry.

These cookies were so delicious I had to quickly package them up so my son wouldn’t eat them all on her.

He doesn’t have the same lactose issues as her but he said he liked the Coconut Oil Frosting better than regular Buttercream!

Easy piping tip for frosting your Dairy Free Sugar Cookies

I filled a piping bag with the frosting to squeeze a dollop of frosting on each cookie after they cooled but you could just as easily fill a zip lock baggy and cut a small hold in one of the corners or just spread it on with a butter knife.

I added a fresh raspberry for some color which added a nice fresh tart flavor but some colorful sprinkles would be pretty too.

The Coconut Oil Frosting was easy to make but I’m not sure how well it would fair on a hot day.  Coconut Oil can be temperature sensitive.

You’ll definitely want to have the air conditioning on if your making this in the warmer months.
