10.	Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

For a festive twist, you can add dried cranberries, chopped nuts, or vegan chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
To make the icing, simply mix together powdered sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
If the dough is too crumbly, you can add a tablespoon or two of plant-based milk to help bind it together.
You can also refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour before rolling it into balls to make it easier to handle.
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.
