What to Avoid While Making Vegan Sugar Cookies?

Using Too Much Flour: Adding excess flour while rolling can make the cookies dry and crumbly. Dust lightly and only as needed.
Baking Too Long: Overbaking leads to dry, hard cookies. Remove them from the oven as soon as they’re lightly golden around the edges.
Using Unreliable Margarine: Not all vegan margarines work the same. Low-quality ones can make the dough too greasy or cause the cookies to spread excessively. Use a trusted brand for consistent results.
