#8 Vegan Sugar Cookies

These buttery cut-out cookies don't spread while baking, so they will keep their sharp, defined edges. With tender slightly chewy edges, thick soft but not too soft centers, and foolproof cookie icing they are perfect for any holiday or occasion.

Naturally gluten-free, grain-free, perfectly chewy, buttery (but butter/oil-free), a bit cookie-doughy in the middle, and super yum. Mixed up and ready in under 20 minutes!
