Finding a delicious Christmas cookie that’s easy, gluten-free and vegan can be tricky, but that’s why I love these Chocolate Crinkle Cookies!
They are by far the easiest cookies I’ve ever made and taste absolutely amazing.
And not to mention they are super cute 🙂 If you aren’t a chocolate lover, make sure to try out my vegan date squares – they are also a big holiday hit!
