The holiday season isn’t complete without a batch of Christmas cookies! Whether you're baking for the family, a festive gathering, a gift, or just to treat yourself, these cookie recipes are perfect!

#8 Vegan Sugar Cookies

These buttery cut-out cookies don't spread while baking, so they will keep their sharp, defined edges. With tender slightly chewy edges, thick soft but not too soft centers, and foolproof cookie icing they are perfect for any holiday or occasion.

#7 Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Naturally gluten-free, grain-free, perfectly chewy, buttery (but butter/oil-free), a bit cookie-doughy in the middle, and super yum. Mixed up and ready in under 20 minutes!

Hi there, Reader My 2nd new recipe this week. Who even am I? I'll credit my back (which is feeling much better at long last) for the sudden burst of recipe inspiration and desire to get my proper camera out at long last. Today, I am bringing to the table my new crunchy, ultra-clumpy Pumpkin Seed Granola. It tastes and smells like fall, and I've been loving it with some dairy-free yogurt and banana for breakfast.
