11 of the Very Best Vegan Holiday Cookies

It’s the holidays and if you’re like me you are running behind. I always have a list of ideas in my head for homemade gifts and it seems that the end of the year is always busy enough that I don’t get as much done as I want.

Cookies are the answer and can easily be the hero of your holidays. Everyone loves them, they are easy to make and you can even customize them to fit dietary needs. Oh, and if you’re a neighbor or local friend of mine you may be getting cookies from me!

They are made with Teff flour, are gluten-free and could be easily made oil-free by subbing mashed avocado or pumpkin puree for the oil.
