Notes
Sugar Cookie Mix Note: Some dairy-free options include Foodstirs Organic, Annie's Organic, and Betty Crocker. There are even more gluten-free, dairy-free options, like Betty Crocker Gluten-Free, King Arthur Gluten-Free, and Cherrybrook Kitchen. But be sure to check and make sure the brand is safe for your needs.
Yogurt Note: Nicole originally used So Delicious, but they discontinued their Greek-style line. There are a few brands, like Kite Hill, that make Greek-style. But we prefer rich brands, like Coyo, for best results. If you don't have access to a very thick dairy-free yogurt, then use 1 6-ounce container of yogurt, and blend in about ½ of an 8-ounce tub of dairy-free cream cheese alternative.
