Author Notes: One of the most initmidating parts of going vegan is figuring out how to create baked goods without eggs, butter, and milk. Fortunately, the process is a lot less stressful than it sounds. No recipe proves that better than this one, which requires no substitute egg and uses coconut oil in place of butter. It is inspired by a recipe from Isa Chandra Moskowitz, cookbook writer extraordinaire, webmaster of the Post Punk Kitchen (www.theppk.com) and the woman who taught me the art of vegan baking - Gena Hamshaw

The dough tastes delicious, I love that it's vegan so I can just snack on the extra pieces of dough as I cut out the shapes. I can smell the cookies baking, listening to classical Christmas music with my wife. Life just doesn't get any better!

I need to limit my sugar intake. Any chance the sugar can be substituted with Truvia baking blend?
