25 gluten free & vegan Christmas cookie recipe ideas, including sugar cookies, gingerbread, truffles, macaroons, & more!
‘Tis the season for CHRISTMAS COOKIES! I can remember making SO many Christmas cookies when I was younger, we seriously made everything & even had to keep some on our back porch because we ran out of room in both of our refrigerators haha! I love baking to begin with, but I love seasonal/holiday baking even more. My favorite was always my mom’s homemade gingerbread cookies – they were not gluten free or vegan by any means but they sure were delicious!
Similar to the post I did for gluten free & vegan Thanksgiving Day recipes, I wanted to put together a post featuring amazing Christmas cookies, ALL vegan & gluten free, but delicious enough for everyone to enjoy equally! I know I have my eye on a few of the recipes below, I can’t wait to make them!!
And speaking of that Thanksgiving recipe post I did last month, that can still be used as a great resource for your Christmas Eve/Day menu as well! It pretty much has everything covered from entrees, side dishes, veggies, soups, pies, & more!
Alright, onto the cookies!

I can’t wait to try one of the gingerbread recipes on this list…as I mentioned earlier, they have been a favorite of mine for YEARS! And speaking of years, it’s been years since I had one because of being gluten free & now vegan, so I’m really excited for that!
