Halloween Sugar Cookies
Here are some delicious Halloween sugar cookies that you are sure to enjoy! This recipe for the sugar cookie recipe was actually given to me when I was 12 years old. A neighbor gave me a tin recipe box with all kinds of delicious recipes. I have kept this recipe and have used it over and over throughout the years.
I actually made these last year before we started our whole foods, plant-based diet, and when I ran across these pictures, I wanted to share them with you since Halloween is right around the corner.
And for all my vegan friends, with this recipe, you can substitute earth balance® butter for regular butter, earth balance® vegetable shortening for shortening, unsweetened vanilla almond milk for regular milk, and Ener-G egg replacer® can be a substitute for the egg. Then you will have yourself a dairy free, vegan, Halloween sugar cookie!
Easy Sugar Cooke Recipe
I will make these Halloween sugar cookies again using all the healthy ingredients. For over 30 plus years, I have been making my Christmas cookies, and this year I will be making the adjustments so that the cookies are vegan. I’m really excited to make a healthier version of these delicious cookies!
Let me know if you try the healthier version of these Halloween sugar cookies. I will be posting a new recipe for these cookies at a later time. For now, here is my original recipe for my sugar cookies that I have made forever!
