It's almost Christmas! Holiday cookies are upon us but don't let being vegan get in the way of letting you have Christmas cookies. The holidays can be made sweeter even if they're egg-free, dairy-free and healthier!

Here are 6 delightful vegan recipes that you can try, eat and be merry:

 1.) Coconut pecan chocolate chunk cookies

Ahh, chocolate chip cookies are always a classic during Christmas holidays. While many associate this cookie with milk, it's actually dairy-free and it's pretty good! This recipe is from Woman in Real Life and it takes a nutty pecan twist to the old classic favorite. Instead of wheat flour, the author used spelt flour as it is a bit gentler on the tummy. It's easy to make and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.

2.) Salty sweet toffee cookies with dark chocolate

Everything about that sentence sounds and tastes delicious that you'll forget its vegan. This recipe from How To Philosophize with Cake contains salt and it is actually a good thing. Salt somehow makes sweets taste so much better. The author shares that it is imperative to chill the dough before shaping the cookies so as to let it hold its shape.

3.) Chocolate frosted peppermint cookies

Peppermint is one of the hallmarks of the holidays and to combine that with chocolate and make it into a cookie is something that will blow your mind. This recipe from Sarah Bakes G Free is gluten-free and the hardness of peppermint flakes on top of soft cookies is enough to make it a hit for vegans and non-vegans alike.

4.) No bake fudgy snowballs

No bake cookies are sometimes the best cookies especially if you are pressed for time. This recipe from Skinny Taste is so simple and easy to do that it's almost impossible that these are healthy, egg-free, dairy-free, vegan and gluten-free on top of being delicious. You can make this for dessert in the evenings or make a jar to give away for the holidays.

5.) Orange spice holiday cookies

How about something fruit-infused and refreshing for winter? This recipe from Babble is a mixture of cinnamon and citrus with hints of nutmeg, cloves, and pumpkin which is comforting and delightful. It would taste great with hot tea.

6.) White chocolate macadamia cookies

If you're looking for a perfect contrast to dark chocolate anything, this recipe from Lunch Box Bunch would go well with it. Who would guess that Macadamia nuts and white chocolate would go so well together in a cookie? It is healthier and goes well with hot chocolate.
