​
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!

#1 Vegan Snowball Cookies

Sugar-dusted, buttery, nutty, light as air, and so quick and easy to make with no chilling.

#7 Vegan Christmas Shortbread

Perfectly short and crumbly, buttery, vegan Christmas Shortbread bars with a layer of festive mincemeat sandwiched effortlessly through the middle. Quick, no fuss, no cookie cutters required.

#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!

#7 Vegan Raspberry 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! (made with frozen raspberries in case you're wondering!)
