I can hear the angels sing when I taste my first Christmas Cookies this winter. Those jam filled, short pastry cookies do not only look cute they are super easy to make.
As I mentioned those Easy vegan Christmas Cookies everyone can make require less than 8 ingredients and they are for sure a classic that everyone from young to old likes. And if you a re looking for an even easier recipe make sure you check out my Protein Christmas Balls!
Extra tip: If you want to give your cookies and extra nutritional boost you can add 1-2 tsp Chia seed to the jam before placing it between the cookies.
If you have time I recommend making these Easy Vegan Christmas Cookies everyone can make while you are reading this. Otherwise (you better come up with a good excuse), you can save the picture below to your Pinterest Board and find the recipe later before Christmas 🙂 You can find me under my name Vanillacrunnch if you are interested in seeing all my Pinterest boards for inspiration.
I am looking forward to seeing your cookie creations on Instagram (Tag me @vanillacrunnch ) or you can use the hashtag #bakingwithvanillacrunnch or and leave a comment here and put a smile on my face.

What do you mean by liquid sweetener?
Maple, agave, or honey if you do 🙂 does that help?
What does one stick of butter mean?
Around 116 grams
Hi, how much weight-wise is in a stick of vegan butter please? In the UK our’s is sold in tubs not sticks. ☺
Hi 🙂 it is around 116gr. Does that help?
Can you tell me what you use for vegan butter? Is it margarine?
Yes margarine 🙂
Hello
I baked these and they were delicious but they got extremely soft the day after, the crisp had disappeared and I was left with a crumbling cookies. Are these meant to be eaten straight away or should they be kept in the fridge?
Best to eat them fast but you can store them in the fridge and they will stick together from the cold.
Warmest, Lara
Can I substitute vegan butter for olive oil or coconut oil? As I do not eat butter😊 looks delish!
sadly not, they get too crumbly with oil and will not hold.
Hi! These look delicious 😋
Quick question: Do you think this recipe would work as thumb-print cookies instead? I just don’t have any cookie cutters haha
My goal in 2023 is to try a new recipe a week because I tend always to eat the same thing. This recipe will be the one I try this weekend!
