  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out, or it will be too soft and sticky to work with.
  • Place the baking sheet of cut-out sugar cookies in the freezer before baking, or they’ll puff up too much and lose their perfect shapes.
  • Keep your vegan sugar cookies soft and chewy by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can put a small piece of bread in the container with the cookies to keep them softer for longer!
