An easy to make Christmas cookie that is sure to impress!
Rich and chocolatey vegan cookie recipe: This is the vegan version of one of my favorite chocolate cookie recipes. I’ve been baking these and giving them out for Christmas for years. The original recipe is from Good Housekeeping.
These impressive chocolate cookies are simple to prepare. The dough can easily be made several weeks ahead and frozen until needed. Or the cookies can be baked ahead of time and frozen for up to 3 months.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies. Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes.
