25 Vegan Christmas Cookies You Need to Bake Right Now! (2024)

Nov 24, 2015

'Tis the season to crank your oven.

Fa la la la la, la la la la!

Give your cookie batter someloving.

Fa la la la la, la la la la!

I grew up in the kind of house where there weren't a lot of sugary treats around (healthy parenting). So I learned at a pretty young age, that the best way to get my sugar fix, was to bake my own cookies. As far as I can remember, I actually don't think I tried a store bought cookie until I was well into my teens, and I was horrified at how incredibly terrible they were. So dry, hard, and bland. I still don't know why people buy them.

So this year I decided to find some recipes from awesome bloggers across the netso I can get my holiday baking on!

Just check out all of these delicious looking vegan Christmas cookies! Some are gluten-free, some are healthy, and ALL of them are deliciously vegan.

Totally not vegan but I have a relative who is vegan and so I wanted to make him a superior treat and to be honest I wasn’t sure where to start with making vegan cookies. I saw your recipes and I love these cookies!! Seriously, they were so delicious. Thank you so much for these awesome recipes.

    Oooh my goodness. I love soft sugar cookies. I think between these and those, that might be my holiday baking right there.
    I don't really like vegan butter -- do you think cashew butter would work for the cookies and coconut butter for the frosting without messing it up, flavor-wise? 🙂

    No, that would completely change the recipe and flavourings, I don't believe it would work well. Enjoy!

Too many of these are gluten-free - gluten-free stuff taste like crap! I'm so tired of vegan being lumped in with it.
