9 Vegan Holiday Cookie Recipes perfect for all your baking adventures this holiday season.
The best way to spread holiday cheer is baking enough cookies to last all year. Anybody else spend days just non-stop baking so you can make sure you have all the baked goods you need? Time to let the holiday baking commence!
This holiday season may look a little different; we may not be with family or at our favourite holiday market, but we can still bring the cheer in the form of cookies. When we look to make holiday cookies, they not only need to taste great but also freeze well.
In today’s blog post we’ll detail our favourite TMG cookie recipes and how they can be frozen for later. Plus we’ll offer up some holiday-twist ingredients you can add to them.
