With cookies.

Christmas cookies!

Traditional Tastes of the Season

• Classic Peanut Blossoms — Who can resist this iconic pairing of peanut butter and chocolate?
• Simple Sugar Cookies — Break out the Christmas-themed cookie cutters and get decorating with these holiday must-haves.
• Jamtastic Wedding Cookie Sandwiches — A unique pairing of Mexican wedding cookies and locally made jam.
• Gingerbread Folk from One Green Planet — Perfect when you want something festive and warming that you can make with the kids.
• Vegan Eggnog Crunch Biscotti from Oh She Glows — Would it be excessive to dip these crunchy homemade coffee shop snacks in vegan eggnog?

Glorious Gluten-Free Delights

• Gluten Free Vegan Frosted Chocolate Peppermint Cookies from Sarah Bakes Gluten Free — Chocolate. Peppermint. Frosting. No other introduction needed.
• Snowball Cookies from The Pretty Bee — Similar to Russian tea cakes/Mexican wedding cookies, these sweet little bites have a hidden surprise: chocolate chips!
• Vegan Gluten Free Gingerbread Men from Minimalist Baker — A simple update of a beloved Christmas classic, these cookies would be amazing with a little fig jam or cut into the shape of ninjas, if that’s how you roll.
• Raw Gingerbread Cookies + Balls from Rawmanda  — Completely flour-free gingerbread treats for those who are into raw food and love a good excuse to eat cookies for snacks. Or breakfast. Or anytime.
• Eggnog Dark Chocolate Chunk Almond Meal Cookies from Ari’s Menu — Almond meal, vegan eggnog and chunks of dark chocolate. Yes please!
• Healthy Peppermint Oreos from The Healthy Maven — These minty “Oreos” use raw cashews and beet coloring in place of the questionable ingredients in the traditional form of this classic cookie.
• Award-Winning Frosted B-raw-nies from Plant Powered Kitchen — Although not a Christmas recipe per se, these no-bake brownies resemble fudge and could easily be made more festive with the addition of peppermint extract or crushed candy canes!
• No-Bake Candy Cane Mint Brownies from I Love Vegan — Another no-bake brownie that celebrates the classic combination of chocolate and mint.
• Tiramisu Cookies from Vegan Richa — These little delights are filled with caramel cream and are just the right size for gift-giving.

Remember, sharing is caring! This is a great time of year to introduce your family to delicious vegan treats, so be sure to make extra so that you can spread the Christmas cheer!
