Coconut Oil Sugar Cookies

Coconut Oil Sugar Cookies

This is a variation on a sugar cookie made with coconut oil. It tastes similar to a shortbread cookie, but they are very moist and delicious. Roll tops of cookies in sugar or colored sugar before baking for a festive treat. Cinnamon sugar works well, too.
