Introduction to Vegan Christmas Cookies
I learned how to bake from my mom, who is renowned among her friends and family for her desserts. She will often throw a dinner party for 20 people and have 15 different desserts, just to be sure there's enough. One of my favorite pictures from my childhood is the one of my sister and me in pigtails standing on buckets and rolling cookies on the kitchen counter. For me, baking has always been natural.
When I became a vegan, I wasn't sure what the cookies and cakes of my future would taste like, and that was only because I hadn't tried vegan desserts before. There has been an explosion in the vegan dessert world over the past few years and you can now find delicious desserts at plenty of restaurants and bakeries. At the very beginning though, I had to make my own, and it was a process of trial and error. Now I know that no longer are vegan cookies flavorless hardened pieces of cardboard that you're embarrassed to share with friends. Now I know that almost any dessert a person could ever want can be made delicious and animal-free.
It's one of the best feelings in the world to present someone with a homemade cookie, have them say it's delicious, and then tell them the cookie is vegan. I'll never get over the surprised and amazed looks on their faces. If you can bake even one stellar vegan cookie, your friends will be impressed. And, when people are impressed, they are more likely to want to make the cookie themselves, and once they know they can make it themselves, they are so much closer to completely dropping animal products forever.
So, basically, vegan baking is a world cause!
Vegan Christmas cookies make an amazing present for anyone, whether they celebrate the holiday or just enjoy the holiday season. My mom has been baking dozens of batches of cookies and arranging them on trays for the neighbors for as long as I can remember, and this book honors her tradition. Many of the recipes are veganized versions of her best cookies, while others are my best versions of my own favorite cookies.
Share the world cause of vegan cookies and enjoy!
Many thanks to the amazing recipe testers whose arms I pulled to get them to try some vegan Christmas cookies, and without whom we wouldn't have unbiased opinions on these cookies.

Baking Vegan: Philosophy and Substitutions
Baking vegan cookies is very much the same process as baking regular
cookies. There are a few substitutions and very few adjustments
