35 Gluten-Free Vegan Christmas Cookies

A selection of 35 Gluten-Free Vegan Christmas Cookies, including chocolate cookies, oatmeal cookies, fruit cookies, chocolate chip cookies and nutty cookies as well as festive ones like Sugar Cookies and Gingerbread Cookies.

All of these cookies are also refined sugar free, and some are grain-free and paleo too.

These Gluten-Free Vegan Christmas Cookies also make great homemade edible gifts!

Tips for packaging Christmas cookies for gifting

• Make sure the cookies have cooled completely before packing, otherwise they will release steam, which will make them soggy!
• Cookies without frosting are much easier to package for gifting - you can easily stack them on top of each other to wrap in baking paper or put in a tin or Tupperware.
• Cookies with frosting are slightly harder to package - they can't be stacked on top of each other so need to be laid completely flat along the bottom of a tin or Tupperware.
