I&#8217;m not a huge fan of normal\/classic sugar cookies, but these are truly the best soft baked sugar cookies ever. They take the average sugar to the next level.<\/p>\r\n<p>I love the almond flavor and texture of this cookie as well. It reminds me of the Lofthouse cookies you see at the grocery store. However, these are made with better for you ingredients compared to the classic sugar cookies. They are vegan, gluten-free, and paleo (if you use coconut sugar and leave off the frosting).<\/p>\r\n<p>I personally love these cookies plain, without frosting, but I&#8217;ve included a simple vegan buttercream frosting if you want to frost your sugar cookies. These aren&#8217;t like your typical sugar cookie, but I think these are the best sugar cookies I&#8217;ve ever had. Not to mention, they are so easy to make and so dang good!
