eta: CRAP. The first person never wins. I got so excited about cookies.

Snickerdoodles!! Light dough, crisp cookie, with a spicy hint of cinnamon. Goes perfect with warmed apple cider too.
I've veganized my mom's traditional German cookie recipe. It's hard to describe, but they're like gingerbread minus the ginger with a lemon sugar frosting and sprinkles. They're a huge hit at the annual vegan holiday cookie swap that my friends Michael and Annie host each year.

My absolute favorite holiday cookies are Dried Fruit Cookies! I got the recipe from Ina Garten (on the Food Channel) and veganized it :) They're simply amazing! The combination of figs, apricots, raisins and cherries make this too good to resist!
Ever since I can remember my family has made a few huge batches of cookies on Christmas eve to leave out for Santa. This tradition outlasted my brother and I growing out of the Santa belief stage! Each year we still come together and make yummy cookies. This recipe is just one of a few that we use...
Mexican Wedding Cakes:
1 cup margarine
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
Powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Cream margarine, the 1/2 cup powdered sugar and vanilla in medium bowl. Combine flour and pecans in a separate bowl. Stir into mixture in medium bowl. Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake in 325 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned.
Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar; cool on wire rack. Roll again in powdered sugar.
Hope it's okay I posed the recipe but I thought it'd be fun to share! ;)
Pfeffernuese, baby!!!
sugar cookiess!!!
Snickerdoodles. So original! :)
My mom used to make these wonderful cookies every Christmas which had a Hershey kiss pressed into the top. I need to get the recipe from her and see if I can veganize them.
My favorite holiday cookies are those rainbow layered cookie-cakes that taste like almond extract.
As a kid I loved the candy-cane cookies, but now I'm all about Isa's Sparkled Ginger Cookies from Vegan with a Vengeance

Cute!!! I also have to go with ginger molasses cookies. My dad's mom made the BEST cookies and would keep them in the freezer, which somehow made them yummier.
My favorite cookies to bake (and eat) during the holiday season are the "veganized" version of my mom's sugar cookies. They aren't restricted to the holidays, of course, but growing up, that was when we most often baked them, and it was always fun to decorate them in a way befitting whatever season we're celebrating.
