Use this vegan and paleo cut-out cookie recipe in lieu of traditional sugary sugar cookie recipes! This one is barely sweetened with maple syrup but tastes plenty sweet! Children and grandchildren will have fun cutting the dough out into holiday shapes. Use shredded coconut, chopped nuts, hemp seeds, chia seeds, or dried organic fruit to decorate.
