Vegan Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Whether it’s allergies or just an aversion to animal-based products, you don’t have to give up desserts – Vegan cookies are a possibility!
These Vegan cookies are great for rolling out dough and cutting a lot of cool shapes for decorated cookies. They hold their shape well and take to Vegan icing without a problem. The added cocoa powder gives these cookies a deep, rich flavor.
You’ll hardly see a difference between these cookies and regular ones, they look, smell, and taste just like a regular sugar cookie!
