Introduction
Cookies are a classic around Christmastime because of Santa Clausš , but we can have cookies anytime. However, if youāre vegan like me, you may notice that a good chunk of ānormalā baking ingredients is animal-based, like milk, eggs, and regular sugar (gelatin). So when the favorite cook of the family brings out their best cookies ever, itās kind of depressing to think that you canāt have all the food you used to have because youāre vegan.
Take that logic out of your head, and learn how to make all of your favorite cookie recipes, except have them be vegan so that you can impress your non-vegan family and friends. Even if youāre not on any particular diet, pay attention because you may never know when you need to make some dairy-free cookies for people who have lactose intolerance or a dairy allergy, some gluten-free cookies for celiacs or someone with a wheat allergy, or any eggless cookies to accommodate a friend or relative with an egg allergy.
Turn up your favorite Christmas tunes because, as my cousin always says, itās never too early or late to have Christmas songs on, even though grinches like me may disagree. Stick around to learn how to bake many awesome vegan cookies you can enjoy with your family and friends, whether youāre vegan or not, including but not limited to the following.
- Pecan Cinnamon Swirl Cookies
- Salted Espresso Brookies
- Iced Oatmeal Cookies
- Snickerdoodle Cookies
- Sugar Cookies

You may also like my blog post on vegan breakfast recipes.

I hate peanut butter and nut butter because of their sticky textures. Despite that, peanut butter cookies are among the most popular cookie flavors.
If you are unlike me because you love peanut butter, The Simple Veganista has some fantastic vegan peanut butter cookies just for you.
9. Ginger Spice Cookies
The holidays require some ginger spice and having everything nice, like yummy cookies. Have some vegan ginger spice cookies from The Simple Green.

If you are unaware, an Almond Joy is a Hersheyās milk chocolate candy bar filled with almonds and shredded coconut.
If you miss having Almond Joys as a vegan, Namely Marly has a terrific almond joy cookie recipe thatās up your alley.
14. Vegan Oreos
Some consider Oreos vegan, and not vegan by other vegans like me. To please everyone, make these easy vegan Oreos from Feasting on Fruit.
Then, use those sandwich cookies to make the best vegan slutty brownies from Crazy Vegan Kitchen.
15. Lemon Chia Cookies
Iām not that into lemon-flavored food, but if I only included the cookie flavors I like, there would hardly be any cookies on this list. Fortunately, Vegan Richa has a fantastic lemon chia cookie recipe for those who love lemon cookies.
Make more lemon recipes today.
16. Mexican Wedding Cookies
When I think of winter, I think of all the snowballs I want to throw at my siblings and cousins. Despite my notorious lack of aim, I still hit them every once and a while.
If youāre interested in eating some snowball-shaped food, here are some vegan Mexican wedding cookies from Mindful Avocado.
If you like Mexican food, check out my blog post about vegan Mexican recipes.
17. Ginger Molasses Cookies
For Christmas, one of my aunts made a jar of molasses for my family, and my older brother and sister-in-law ended up taking it back home to use in their baking. If you want a recipe using molasses, check out these ginger molasses cookies from Feasting on Fruit.
18. Santaās Trash Cookies
Are you interested in making some salty and crunchy cookies? If so, Rabbit and Wolves made some vegan Santaās trash cookies with chips and pretzels that would be perfect for you.
19. Chocolate Peppermint Crinkle Cookies
In addition to ginger, peppermint is another flavor thatās highly associated with Christmastime, probably because of the popular holiday candy canes. I recommend making vegan chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies and vegan peppermint brownies, both by My Darling Vegan.
Make more peppermint recipes today.
20. Raspberry Almond Linzer Cookies
Iāve never had any Linzer cookies before, despite their popularity. If you want these Austrian cookies, try vegan raspberry almond Linzer cookies from Two Spoons.
Have more raspberry recipes.
21. Fudge Cookies
My grandpa made the best fudge and cookies, but during his lifetime, he never combined everyoneās love for fudge and also of cookies into one recipe.
Fortunately, The Big Manās World has some delicious fudge cookies to make up for that.
22. Almond Tahini Cookies
When I see the ingredient tahini in a recipe, it tends to be added to dishes like Buddha bowls or falafel. Instead, try using tahini in a dessert with this vegan almond tahini cookie recipe from Cook Republic.
23. Matcha Cookies
Matcha is a tea popular in Japan but originally came from China. If you like drinking tea, try this vegan matcha cookie recipe from My Vegan Minimalist.
24. White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies
Vegan white chocolate is hard to come by because a decent percentage of it is made out of dairy milk. Use this vegan white chocolate recipe from Loving It Vegan to make some white chocolate raspberry cookies from Cupful of Kale.
25. Lavender Shortbread Cookies
Lavender is something I associate with scents, instead of in baking, because Iāve never seen it in the herb and spices section of the baking aisle. Granted, I live in the rural Midwestern state of Iowa, so much stuff isnāt available in local grocery stores and supermarkets unless you are in Des Moines.
If youāre interested in baking a new cookie flavor, try some vegan lavender shortbread cookies from plant.well.
26. Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies
Also known as hallongrotta, thumbprint cookies are famous among Polish, Swedish, and Jewish people from Eastern Europe, and that is why these cookies would work as a sweet for Hanukkah and Christmas. Bake these vegan chocolate thumbprint cookies from Blooming Nolwenn.
27. Sāmores Cookies
Sāmores evoke summer, bonfires, and camping. Why canāt we have sāmores all year long with these vegan sāmores cookies from Purely Kaylie?
If these sound good, check out my vegan sāmores blog post.
28. Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
I mentioned an almond butter blossom cookie recipe earlier, but some people are allergic to tree nuts. Besides, peanut butter is the most popular nut butter around, given its numerous brands and cheapness.
Have some vegan peanut butter blossom cookies from Six Vegan Sisters.
29. Cinnamon Roll Cookies
If you like the idea of pecan cinnamon swirl cookies, here is another swirl cookie flavor to try.
These vegan cinnamon roll swirl cookies from ShortGirlTallOrder do not have any pecans; instead, they have some vanilla glaze drizzled on top.
30. Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
Do you like double chocolate cookies? If so, try these double chocolate peppermint cookies from Mindful Avocado.
31. Chocolate Chip Donut Cookies
I included a few variations of chocolate chip cookies on this vegan cookie recipe list. Here are some vegan chocolate chip donut cookies from Nadiaās Healthy Kitchen.
32. Meringue Cookies
When I was in college, my older brother made meringues on one of his trips home. I didnāt try one because they are usually the opposite of being vegan; they are made out of eggs and sugar (gelatin).
To make them vegan, use the liquid out of chickpea/garbanzo cans (aquafaba) as a vegan egg substitute and get some vegan powdered sugar to make a batch of vegan meringue cookies from The Banana Diaries.
33. Gingerbread Cutout Cookies
Have you ever heard of The Gingerbread Man? Thatās the folktale about a gingerbread cookie running away from everybody trying to catch him until a fox eats him.
Try some vegan gingerbread cookies from Feasting on Fruit. Then, make more gingerbread recipes.
34. Thin Mints
In elementary school, my younger sisters and I were Girl Scouts. Our definition of selling Girl Scout cookies was giving our cookie signup sheets to our mom, who was and still is an anesthesiologist, and she used to bring them to work for all of her doctor and nurse friends who didnāt have any kids or just had grown-up children to buy some from us.
Granted, we hardly sold that many cookies this way, but we did get to enjoy whatever cookie flavors our parents bought for the family. One of my favorites that is still around today is Thin Mints, and despite that many consider Thin Mints to be vegan the way they are, here are some healthier vegan Thin Mints that are also gluten-free and only have ten ingredients from Where You Get Your Protein.
35. Almond Cranberry Biscotti
If you are not aware, biscotti are Italian biscuits.
- If youāre interested in making some vegan biscotti, Domestic Gothess has a fantastic recipe for you.
- Also, hereās a vegan biscotti cake from Baked by Clo.
36. Peppermint Brownie Cookies
I included a few variations of brownie cookies because brownies are so delicious. Try some vegan peppermint brownie cookies from Peanut Butter Plus Chocolate.
37. Lemon-Glazed Macadamia Cookies
Macadamia nut desserts are a significant classic at any family and friend gathering like vegan white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.
If you want to spice up your usage of macadamia nuts in your upcoming recipes, try these lemon-glazed macadamia nut cookies from Cotter Crunch.
38. Coffee Hazelnut Shortbread Cookies
The United Kingdom has a bad rap for having horrible food. When I went to England, the food seemed much healthier, organic, and less flavorful, but that trip was before I went vegan. The one thing that the UK has going for them is its higher availability of vegan options because when I see vegan British people like Matthew Sanctuary on TikTok talk about their numerous vegan options that arenāt in the United States yet, I get super jealous.
In terms of cookies, shortbread cookies originated in Scotland. Here is a coffee hazelnut shortbread cookie recipe from Sprouts And Krauts.
39. Cardamom Pecan Cookies
Cardamom is a spice used in various cuisines in cooking and making coffee. Expand your usage of cardamom with these vegan cardamom pecan cookies from The Vegan 8.
40. Stained Glass Cookies
When it comes to vegan baking, Vegan Dollhouse is one of my go-to vegan bloggers. Her dessert recipes are fun, colorful, and playful, and they would be awesome to bake with kids. Since I only have cats, the only baking theyāll try doing with me includes sitting on my ingredients and doing taste tests.
These vegan stained glass cookies would be the perfect treats to make in school (post-COVID), with your kids, and to end a romantic evening meal.
41. Banana Almond Pulp Cookies
Many vegans are big at striving to be as green and environmentally friendly as possible, so they may ponder if there are any ways that they can waste less and use more. For example, after people make plant-based milk, many throw away the solid remains (pulp).
Instead, use this pulp to make some banana almond pulp cookies from From My Bowl. If you want to make more vegan pulp recipes, Almond Cow has many, like desserts, casseroles, and pizza.
You may like these banana recipes.
42. Star Crunch Cookies
Where are you, Little Debbie? I need you to make me some vegan options for all plant-based food lovers.
Since thatās probably not going to happen anytime soon, hereās a vegan Little Debbie Star Crunch recipe from The Big Manās World.

44. Oatmeal Cream Pies
Am I forgetting something, Little Debbie? What is a vegan version of your Oatmeal Creme Pies? Have some vegan oatmeal cream pies from Purely Kaylie.
My dadās all-time Little Debbie favorite is their Nutty Buddy bars. Luckily, I found a vegan Little Debbie Nutty Buddy recipe from Eat Drink Shrink.
If you would rather have actual pie, hereās my blog post on vegan pie recipes.
45. Kolaczki
Kolaczki are Polish cookies that are filled with jam. Since they usually contain dairy, bake some vegan Polish kolaczki cookies from Veggie Inspired.

If you need help finding some vegan food coloring, Unicorn Superfoods food coloring is all vegan, organic, and non-GMO.
47. Zimtsterne
ElaVegan is a German vegan blog by Michaela Vais with over 1 million Instagram followers. Try her vegan zimtsterne cinnamon star cookies, aka famous German holiday cookies, to see how awesome a cook and baker she is.
48. Mandelhƶrnchen
Another German classic is their almond marzipan horns (mandelhƶrnchen). Bake some vegan almond horn cookies from Bianca Zapatka.
49. Raspberry Macarons
Just in case you werenāt aware, macarons are colored sandwich cookies. Pies and Tacos is an excellent macaron resource because this food blog has a lot of vegan and non-vegan macaron recipes. For example, try this vegan raspberry macaron recipe.
50. Macaroons
Instead of being sandwich cookies (macarons), macaroons are more like snowball cookies, except without powdered sugar on top. Try some vegan macaroons from Loving It Vegan.
51. Pizzelles
If youāre into Italian food, here are the perfect cookies. Have some vegan Italian waffle cookies from The Sexy Vegan.
52. Devilās Food Perched Cookies
Cookies are meant to be served with beverages, and perched cookies stay put. Bake some vegan devilās food perched cookies from Vegan Dollhouse.
53. Butter Cookies
When many new vegans and non-vegans hear ābutter,ā they assume that all butter isnāt vegan. Luckily, several vegan butter brands are out there, so you can use some to make these vegan butter cookies from I Love Vegan.
54. Empire Cookies
Lauren Toyota from hot for food is one of my favorite vegan comfort food bloggers. To check out her recipe skills, bake her vegan empire cookies.
55. Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies
I had to include red velvet cookies here because thatās my cousinās favorite flavor. Have some red velvet crinkle cookies from My Darling Vegan.
56. Gingersnap Cookies
Who is in the mood for some more ginger-flavored cookies? Try some vegan gingersnap cookies from Liv B.
57. Apple Pie Cookies
Apple pie can be a cookie flavor. If you donāt believe me, bake some vegan apple pie cookies from Vegan in the Freezer.
Check out my blog post on vegan apple recipes.
58. Ube Sugar Cookies
Sugar cookies are one of the most versatile cookies because they are easy to customize into different shapes and flavors depending on the vibe or theme you want to have.
Caitlin, the author of the vegan blog From My Bowl, made these ube sugar cookies with fun flower, dress, and princess cookie cutters in honor of Taylor Swift's latest album.
59. Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel Cookies
Even though I hate caramel, so many people like my family love it, but the problem is Iāve never come across any caramel cookies for the caramel lovers out there. Fortunately, I found a chocolate chip salted caramel cookie recipe just for them from Cupful of Kale.
60. Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
Double chocolate cookies are amazing, but has anyone tried any with peanut butter? Have some vegan double chocolate peanut butter cookies from Peanut Butter Plus Chocolate.
61. Chai Coconut Oatmeal Cookies
Chai is an Indian tea flavored with spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. No matter if you have a chai spice blend in your cabinet or not, bake some vegan chai coconut oatmeal cookies from The Vegan 8.
62. Vanillekipferl
Would you like to bake more German cookies? Try making these vegan vanilla crescent cookies from Bianca Zapatka.
63. Cannabutter Cookies
This is the most controversial vegan cookie recipe because cannabutter is a fancy word for butter containing marijuana/cannabis. Essentially, this is a vegan pot cookie recipe from The Viet Vegan, and you need to check out the legality of marijuana in your area before you ever make these cookies at home.
You may wonder why I felt impelled to share this recipe with you, especially when marijuana is illegal in my home state of Iowa. Simply put, I wished to briefly shed some light on the issue of drugs in relation to mass incarceration in the United States. Over two million people are incarcerated today in the USA alone, and roughly a fifth are only there for nonviolent drug offenses.
Why canāt we find better ways to spend our tax dollars on things like drug rehabilitation programs over spending more money by keeping hundreds of thousands of nonviolent drug offenders behind bars? Maybe Joe Biden can do something about this in his presidential term, but unfortunately, a big reason we have so many in prison in the United States is some of our previous presidentsā policies, as seen in the documentary 13th.
64. Butter Bourbon Pecan Cookies
Now that we pointed out the elephant in the room (the vegan pot cookies), letās talk about some more adult-only cookies. Who has some bourbon around? Here are some butter bourbon pecan cookies from Heather Christo.
65. Burnt Sugar Bourbon Gingerbread Cookies
Who likes bourbon and gingerbread cookies? Why not have both with these vegan bourbon gingerbread cookies from 86 Eats?
66. Irish Cream Chocolate Cookies
Who needs an excuse to have some whiskey? Wait a minute. If you are at or above the legal drinking age and have a sweet tooth craving, itās okay to have some Irish cream chocolate cookies, right? Thank you for having my back, Vegan in the Freezer.
67. Ladokouloura
Who wants to try a new alcoholic beverage? What about ouzo? Itās an ingredient in these Greek oil cookies from Me To Mati.
68. Black Forest Cookies
We are done talking about any adult-only cookies. Try some black forest cookies from The Nut-Free Vegan.
69. Swiss Spitzbuben Cookies
I went to the Zurich Airport on my way to and from Italy. That airport had some excellent Swiss chocolate, but I never tried any of their cookies. Have some vegan Swiss spitzbuben cookies from Velvet & Vinegar.
70. Cardamom Rose Cookies
Iāve heard of rose water before but never knew of any recipes containing it until I found this cookie recipe. Try some vegan cardamom rose cookies from Cook Republic.
71. Orange Butter Cookies
When I recall dessert flavors, I would think of citrus as the last flavor. Have some vegan orange butter cookies from Little Swiss Baker.
You may like these orange recipes.
72. Palmier Heart Pastries
With more date nights at home nowadays, couples do more cooking and baking than going out to eat until they remember takeout delivery exists.
Either way, bake some vegan palmier heart pastries for your lover from The Carrot Underground.
73. Grinch Crinkle Cookies
No matter how often I take pictures of my cats by their Christmas trees and in their ugly sweaters, that does not change the fact that Iām a huge grinch because I hate Christmas.
If you want to show off being a grinch like me, try making some grinch crinkle cookies from Maria's Munchies.
74. Motherās Bunny Cookies
Animal crackers are the best, especially with frosting and sprinkles on top. Have some vegan frosted animal crackers from Vegan Dollhouse.
75. Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Waffle Cookies
People need way more excuses to have waffles besides breakfast and brunch. Hereās an idea. Get your waffle iron to make these vegan waffle cookies from The Colorful Kitchen.
76. Chocolate Alfajores
Alfajores are famous caramel sandwich cookies in South America and Spain. Have some vegan chocolate alfajores from Essential Vegan.
77. Mango Coconut Cookies
I had the best mangoes ever on my trip to Cuba. For a tropical crunch in your cookie routine, bake vegan mango coconut cookies from Foodaciously.
78. Cowboy Cookies
My dad is a significant fan of old Western movies, especially the ones with Iowa native John Wayne. If youāre into cowboy movies and/or Westerns, watch them with tasty cowboy cookies from Simply Whisked.
This recipe was also in my blog post on vegan American recipes.
79. Mint Milano Cookies
I really would like a mint-flavored dessert right now. Try some mint Milano cookies from SunnysideHanne.
80. Monster Cookies
My family loves monster cookies and bars. Try some vegan monster cookies from The Big Manās World.
81. Petit Fours
Petit four are French tricolor cookies. Have some vegan petit four tricolor cookies from NeuroticMommy.
82. Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies
We need more ways to spice up your next batch of chocolate chip cookies. I suggest you use a pumpkin spice to spice up some vegan chocolate chip cookies from Six Vegan Sisters.
Here are additional pumpkin spice recipes.
83. Vanilla Wafers
When I think of wafers, I associate them with Chinese buffets because they tend to have a few flavors of wafers in their dessert selection. I donāt get why that is, but fortune cookies are initially from America, not China.
However, these vegan vanilla wafers from ElaVegan are more like Nilla wafers than the ones Iāve seen at Chinese buffets.
84. Pignoli Cookies
Pignoli is a nutty Italian cookie with almond paste and pine nuts. If nobody has any allergies to tree nuts, try vegan pignoli cookies from Pasta-based.
85. Italian Rainbow Cookies
Italian rainbow cookies are similar to petit fours because they are tricolor. The main distinction is petit fours look like chocolate truffles because of being covered with chocolate while Italian rainbow cookies taste like cake because theyāre made with a few layers of colored sponge cake.
Bake some Italian rainbow cookies from Seitan Beats Your Meat. If you need vegan food coloring, try using something from Unicorn Superfoods.
86. Sweet Potato Breakfast Cookies
Who likes having desserts for breakfast? Here are some vegan sweet potato breakfast cookies from Foodaciously.
You may like to make additional sweet potato recipes.
87. Pecan Sandies
Whoās a fan of Keebler SandiesĀ® Pecan Shortbread cookies? Try some vegan pecan sandies from Monkey and Me Kitchen Adventures.
88. Nightmare Before Christmas Cookies
Halloween is my favorite holiday, and The Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite Halloween movie and the best Christmas movie ever.
Bake some vegan Nightmare Before Christmas cookies from Vegan Dollhouse.
89. Anise Seed Shortbread Cookies
Anise seeds are a great spice to add to baking and also give drinks a licorice flavor. Have some vegan anise seed shortbread cookies from Fare Isle.
90. Golden Almond Cookies
If you are confused by the color, A Saucy Kitchen used turmeric powder to give these vegan golden almond cookies their color instead of food coloring. It might seem strange to use turmeric powder in baking desserts when itās often used for making curry, but with all the nutritional benefits many claim it has, I feel like itās a good enough excuse to make these cookies.
91. Stroopwafels
Whether you want to call stroopwafels Dutch syrup waffles or think of stroopwafels as wafer cookies, Iām giving you another recipe that needs a waffle iron. Isnāt that something to celebrate?
Granted, I only recommend a waffle iron for this recipe because the original recipe requires a special iron that you may not own, and the closest thing that would equate to what she uses is an ordinary waffle iron. Check out this vegan stroopwafel recipe from Seitan is my Motor.
92. Whoopie Pies
A whoopie pie is a sandwich cookie originating in the United States. Make some vegan whoopie pies from Minimalist Baker.
93. Spritz Cookies
Spritz cookies can be made into so many shapes, colored, and topped with sprinkles. These vegan spritz cookies would be amazing treats to make with the kids in your life, thanks to Crowded Kitchen.
94. Florentines
Iām disappointed I didnāt come across any Florentine cookies in Florence. Luckily, I found these vegan Florentine cookies from Project Vegan Baking, and they look super good.
95. Eggnog Cookies
The holidays arenāt without some eggnog, but thatās not traditionally vegan. Have some vegan eggnog cookies from Liv B.
Since I donāt live to disappoint, here are Liv Bās vegan candy cane cookies because the embedded Instagram post featured both the eggnog and candy cane cookies.
96. Blueberry Kolaches
Kolaches are pastries from Central Europe. Have some vegan gluten-free blueberry kolaches from Foodaciously.
Side note, if youāre from or traveling to the Midwest and are interested in learning more about Central European cultures, take a weekend or day trip to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to see the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library because that museum is so educational and fascinating.
97. Gingerbread House
I know what you may be thinking. Why did Megan include a vegan gingerbread house on this ginormous list of vegan cookies?
As a smart aleck, this is just a reminder that gingerbread houses are made out of cookie dough, meaning Iām more than welcome to talk about making them in this blog post. Build a vegan gingerbread house with the help of Project Vegan Baking.
You may also like reading about more vegan gingerbread house recipes and my vegan gingerbread house review.
98. Neapolitan Cookies
Wait a second. I thought there was only Neapolitan ice cream. Iām pleased Iām wrong because these vegan Neapolitan cookies from The Little Blog of Vegan look so colorful and tasty.
99. Melting Snowmen Chocolate Sugar Cookies
Making snowpeople is one of the most fun things to do during the winter. Make some vegan snowmen sugar cookies from Divine Chocolate.
100. Vegan Cookie Box
If youāre interested in knowing who created many of Divine Chocolateās vegan desserts, many are made by Amy from Nourishing Amy. Use her expertise to make vegan cookie boxes with your favorite cookies.
101. Sweet Potato Cookie Lasagna
The final cookie recipe is a vegan cookie lasagna from Healthy Little Vittles. You can get some premade vegan cookies for the lasagna crust from Rule Breaker Snacks (all vegan), Enjoy Life (vegan options), MadeGood (all vegan), and Partake (all vegan).
Bonus: 10 Delicious Drinks for Santa
If Iām going to give you a bunch of cookie recipes, I might as well have something for every Santa apprentice to drink. After all, Santa gets milk and cookies, right?

1. Gingerbread Hot Chocolate
Hot chocolate is my favorite beverage, and itās so refreshing after being out in the cold. Make some vegan gingerbread hot chocolate from Rainbow Plant Life.
Have more hot cocoa.
2. Peanut Butter Chocolate Milkshake
Who says vegans canāt have milkshakes? Try this vegan peanut butter chocolate milkshake from My Vegan Minimalist.
3. Dalgona Coffee
If youāre on TikTok, you may have noticed that dalgona coffee was trendy in 2020. Nobody had anything better to do during the COVID-19 pandemic besides making coffee at home.
Try some vegan dalgona coffee from Life Made Sweeter.
4. Gingerbread Smoothie
Before researching beverages for this blog post, I never heard of a gingerbread smoothie. That probably tastes like heaven, especially around Christmastime. Have a vegan gingerbread smoothie from Clean Eating Kitchen.
You may also like my blog post about vegan smoothie recipes.
5. Eggnog
Earlier, I spent eons talking about how vegan eggnog cookies would be terrific treats during the winter holidays, but I didnāt give you a vegan recipe for eggnog.
How rude of me! Try some vegan eggnog from Running on Real Food. Then, make more vegan eggnog recipes.
6. Pumpkin Spice Latte
I donāt like Starbucks because Iāve only had airport hot chocolate and expensive cake pops, which were disgusting. Besides, there are too many people at Starbucks, and I get grumpy in crowded places.
The most stereotypical fall order is a pumpkin spice latte, but you can make it homemade the rest of the year. Make a vegan pumpkin spice latte at home with the help of The Vegan 8.
7. Pecan Pie Milk
I often see pecan pies at holiday gatherings, but those aren't the only times of the year you should consume pecans.
Grab a bag of pecans from the store to create vegan pecan pie milk from Almond Cow.
8. Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
Chocolate beverages are extraordinary to have with freshly baked cookies. Make this vegan chocolate cherry smoothie from From My Bowl.
If you like cherries, read my blog post about vegan cherry recipes.
9. Blueberry Latte Breakfast Smoothie Jars
Even though Iām not into coffee, I found this vegan blueberry latte recipe from Feasting on Fruit fascinating. These jars contain a combo of a cold brew chia pudding and a blueberry smoothie so that you can get caffeine and some nutrients in one beverage.
10. Apple Cider
If you werenāt aware, be careful about consuming processed fruit juices because many arenāt vegan. Instead of dealing with doing enough research on a fruit juice company to write a doctoral dissertation to figure out if itās vegan or not, make some vegan homemade apple cider with the help of an Almond Cow milk maker.
Conclusion
The funny thing is that I started writing this blog post in August to finish it by the beginning of December. The problem was that life found reasons for me to delay finishing this blog post until right after Valentineās Day. Finding 101 vegan cookie recipes was too ambitious, and it took a lot of research all over the internet to find some tasty treats for all of the cookie lovers out there.
If you want vegan cookie cookbook recommendations, get Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. This book is part of my vegan cookbook library and would make a great addition to your cookbook collection too. If you prefer watching videos, hereās my vegan cookie YouTube playlist.
Ultimately, cookies are a considerable portion of many peopleās baking. Everyone should know how to accommodate their cooking and baking for allergies, specialty diets, and vegan lifestyles because you never know when this knowledge will come in handy. Thanks for taking the time to check out my vegan cookie blog post. Now, start baking already.
