Delicious Dairy Free Sugar Cookies

---

I found this recipe on the crisco website and was happy to have found a recipe that doesn't use butter or margarine as my son is allergic to all milk products. This is a delicious cookie and perhaps even better than ones made with butter! So easy to make as well.
