    Vegan Gluten-Free Cookies

    Published: Dec 14, 2019 · Modified: Apr 29, 2022 by Audrey · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

     

    Below you'll find a curated collection of scrumptious vegan and gluten-free cookie recipes from the blog archives (all refined sugar-free as well, naturally). These recipes, besides being some of my personal favorites, are all reader tried, tested, and heartily approved.

    Cookies are a big favorite with me when it comes to desserts – fuss-free, super quick to throw together, and absolutely delicious, and here you’ll find a variety of cookies perfect for the holiday season, but also of course (and perhaps more importantly) for day-to-day munching.

    I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do!

    Before we get to them, just a quick note: if you find this type of recipe browsing a wee bit tedious — I know opening up a thousand browser pages isn’t typically my idea of fun either… — you can get these recipes in one beautifully collated (and ad-free!) PDF ebook below. Your purchase of the Cookies collection ebook will also help to support this blog, so it’s a win-win all around ;)

    Oh, and if you're looking for Christmas desserts other than cookies, you'll find heaps of them here.
    And now, to cookies...

    2. Mexican Wedding Cookies

    If you're interested in even more cookies, some of my very favorites you can find exclusively in my book Unconventional Treats.

    Merry Christmas & Happy Baking!
