1 c. dairy free margarine (I use Fleischman’s Unsalted)
3/4 c. granulated sugar
2 1/2 c. unbleached all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine the dairy free margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together and is fully incorporated.
Roll out dough onto a lightly floured board to 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutter. Place on baking sheet and bake 20-22 minutes or just until very lightly golden on top and bottom of cookie. The cookies shouldn’t have any brown color to it.
Once cooled you can frost with safe frosting or sprinkles, and candy.

Food Allergy Initiative
Each year food allergies kill over 150 Americans and send 125,000 more to the emergency room. Even more troubling is the fact that the number of Americans suffering with food allergies is dramatically increasing. With no known cures, medical professionals are still unable to explain why the number is rising.
The only known way to treat this life-threatening condition currently is avoidance of the food to which you or your loved one are allergic to. Sending our children to school can be a very frightening experience considering that even a tiny amount of allergen from another child's snack can trigger a severe allergic reaction.
Fortunately, researchers believe that a cure is on the horizon, but further research is necessary for this to happen. The Government has allocated only $17 million to the research and study of treatments for food allergies, compared to $107 million allocated toward attention deficit disorder research. We obviously need to educate Americans about the severity of food allergies and the importance of finding a cure for this life-threatening condition!
