Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour (120g)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (100g)
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (55g)
  • 12 vegan M&Ms (see brand options above) or additional chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup unsalted vegan butter or coconut oil, melted (80g)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp water (22g)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (3g)
  • 2 tbsp vegan red and green sprinkles or holiday sprinkles of choice (5g)

Instructions

  • The vegan Christmas cookies work best with spelt flour, all purpose flour, oat flour, or all purpose gluten free flour.
  • 1. If baking right away, preheat the oven to 325° Fahrenheit (165° Celsius).
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer, stir all dry ingredients well. It is your choice whether to stir the sprinkles and M&Ms in or to add them on top of each cookie just before baking.
  • 3. Stir in liquid ingredients to form a cookie dough texture. It will seem dry at first, so keep mixing for 1-2 minutes. For best results, do not add additional liquid.
  • 4. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, roll the dough into cookie balls.
  • 5. For chewy cookies, chill the balls in the refrigerator for one hour (or overnight). Or for crispier cookies, proceed to the next step immediately.
  • 6. Place the dough balls on a large greased or nonstick cookie sheet, leaving space between each because the chocolate chip cookies spread while baking.
  • 7. Bake on the oven's center rack for 11 minutes.
  • 8. Remove from the oven and let cool, during which time their texture will continue to firm up.
  • 9. Serve and enjoy! Store cooled leftovers in a covered container for up to five days. Or freeze for long term storage.
