Notes
Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before rolling it out for easier handling. Use a mix of cookie cutters for holiday shapes and fun designs. For extra flair, consider adding chopped nuts or vegan chocolate chips to the dough. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour on your surface while rolling.
