After a Year of Baking, the Vegan Christmas Cookie Lineup for 2023 Is Decided!
Choosing which cookies stay and which ones get cut is never easy, but after a year of testing and tasting, this is my definitive Vegan Christmas Cookie lineup for 2023.
A couple of surprise picks this year
Lemon Blondies and Black and White Cookies earned a spot on the must-have list. I was surprised too, but they’re that good—bright, tender, and full of flavor—so they couldn’t be left off.

BAKERY SPRITZ COOKIES
No holiday baking season feels complete without bakery-style spritz cookies. They’re classic, elegant, and versatile—honestly, you could make just this recipe and call it a day for your cookie assortment.
GRINCH BLOSSOMS
These Grinch Blossoms were a 2023 debut and I’m completely smitten. They’re fun, festive, and surprisingly simple to make—complete with homemade vegan chocolate kisses.
SNOWBALL COOKIES
Snowball cookies are a non-negotiable on my Christmas platter. Traditionally made with pecans or walnuts, they’re easily adapted for nut allergies by substituting seeds or other mix-ins.
RAINBOW COOKIES
Another debut for 2023: vegan rainbow cookies. Made with homemade almond paste, these layered treats are more like tiny cakes than cookies—and dangerously addictive.
LEMON BLONDIES
Lemon blondies might seem unexpected on a Christmas platter, but their bright citrus flavor is a lovely contrast to richer holiday sweets. Once you try them, you’ll understand why they made the list.
FUDGE BROWNIES
Fudge brownies in small, bite-sized squares are essential for any cookie assortment. Whether you prefer a scratch recipe or a perfected box-cake hack, they deliver that dense, chocolatey hit everyone loves.
