21 Delicious Vegan Cookies for the Holidays

If you're baking up a storm of cookies this holiday season, or plan to make just the one kind, here -- in one place -- are a few scrumptious ideas for vegan cookies that I've shared with you over the years.

These are my family's favorites, including a very simple Vegan gluten-free sugar cookiesrecipe that never fails, some exotic treats like Italian Amaretti Cookies and Vegan Sable or French Shortbread, "healthy" ones that make me feel a little lighter hearted, like the Vegan Whole Wheat Chocolate Chunk Bars, and some really indulgent goodies, like the Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies, which are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

In fact, if you're planning to bake for a crowd, you might want to try the Giant Banana Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie. It bakes up perfectly each time and all you need to make it is a cast iron skillet. And because we simply cannot forget those furry little babies who make our lives so much better, there's a Gluten-free Peanut Butter Biscuit that is sure to disappear in two seconds flat. If that.

Here, without more ado, are my favorite vegan cookies from the archives of Holy Cow! Happy baking!
