I have made this recipe over a dozen times and they always turn out PERFECTLY. They’re a go-to for birthday parties and gatherings with vegan friends and they’re kind of my thing now.

I'm not a huge baker, but I made these last night and am super happy with them! I don't even have a stand mixer or hand mixer or anything and they turned out great.

In reply to Andrea. Hi Andrea, I'm so happy your family loves the cookies! I haven't tried it with cocoa powder yet. I know it'll work, but I just don't know the proper ingredient adjustments. I'll have to experiment soon. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. Have a Merry Christmas! :)

In reply to Melissa Huggins. Do you think I could add cocoa powder to these to make chocolate cookies? If so, how much would you recommend? (The originals are a family fave at Christmas, and I'm looking to add a batch of something slightly different to the haul!)

In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah, I'm so glad they are a holiday hit! I haven't frozen the cookies in their raw state, but I have frozen the raw dough. I just let it sit in the fridge overnight to thaw, then leave it on the counter for 15-20 minutes before shaping. I'm sure you can freeze the formed cookies too. Freeze them on a baking sheet first so they don't stick together, then place them in an airtight container of ziptop bag. I would bake them from frozen, adding a few minutes to the baking time. If your oven runs hot, take 5 degrees off the baking temp. I hope this helps. :)

I've made these one before and everyone loved them! I'm planning to include these in my cookie boxes for friends this year. I'm wondering if you can freeze the dough? I'm thinking to scoop, do the indent (and not fill with jam) and then freeze? Have you tried this? Do you have any suggestions please?

Thank you,

Sarah

I make these every year for our annual cookie party, and it’s a fan favorite! I typically make ten types of cookies, and this one always gets request, even from non vegans! I make a homemade cranberry sauce for it and it works perfectly. Thank you for such a wonderful and easy recipe!!
