There is nothing more festive than baking cookies in December, so I wanted to create a collection of all my dairy free Christmas cookies in one spot that are perfect for baking over the festive season.
This collection of recipes includes all your holiday favourite flavours such as gingerbread, cinnamon, peppermint, cranberry, and of course chocolate!
All of the recipes in this collection are dairy free as written (meaning they don’t include butter or milk) with many also being egg free, and therefore vegan or having a vegan option. A lot of the recipes can also be adapted to be gluten-free by using a simple 1-1 gluten free flour blend such as Bob’s Red Mill instead.
So whether you or someone you want to bake for has an allergy or sensitivity to dairy, save this post because I assure you there is going to be a cookie to hit every craving on this list!
Make sure to also browse my complete collection of all Christmas recipes for all of your holiday cooking and baking!
