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 The grill is hot. The tofu is marinating. Life is good. β˜€οΈ It starts with a punchy lemony, garlicky, noochy marinade that does double duty. First, it transforms the tofu while it marinates. Then, whatever's left becomes the most ridiculously good finishing sauce.
