Vegan Christmas Cookie Box (Gluten-Free)

A delicious and festive Vegan Christmas Cookie Box packed with the best cookies and sweets: Vegan Stollen Bites, Slice and Bake Shortbread Cookies, Gingerbread and so much more. All the cookies are gluten-free friendly, too.

I just love a good cookie box and after last years’ creation, I was only too excited to make a Vegan Christmas Cookie Box for 2021. I have to say this one caused quite a bit of stress to actually take the photographs, style the box and get it “just so” but I am so happy with the outcome. So remember when you see all the fabulous cookie boxes this year, that a lot of love, time, (sweat and tears) and planning go into these. Right let’s get to it!

How amazing is this Vegan Christmas Cookie Box?

This one is so special as it is packed with a few of this year’s favourite sweet things. it is:

• Fun to make
• A great activity with little ones
• An impressive centre piece for guests
• Easy to fill with your favourite cookies
• Great for year-long boxes, too

There are no set ingredients and method for this Vegan Christmas Cookie Box, but here are the cookies and sweet things that you can see in this box.

How do I make a cookie box?

This is really easy with some cardboard, parchment paper and scissors. There is no need to have any fancy equipment. You can read more about that on my original cookie box post.

What cookies are in this cookie box?

As I said, these are a few of my favourites:

• Vegan Stollen Bites (some covered in chocolate and others with icing sugar)
• Vegan Slice and Bake Shortbread Cookies (cranberry-pistachio and chocolate-hazelnut)
• Vegan Gingerbread Cookies
• Double Chocolate Mince Pies (recipe in the newsletter sign up here)
• Jam-Filled Linzer Cookies
• Vegan Eggnog Sugar Cookies
• Chocolate Pudding Truffles (“recipe” below)

How do I make the cute Chocolate Pudding Truffles?

These are actually so simple and involve your favourite shop-bought truffles. Or if you want to make truffles, try my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles, Vegan Oreo Cake Balls, Ferrero Rocher Cake Balls or Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake Balls.

• Allow the chocolate to set: on the truffles so they are firm.
• Make some thick icing: using water and icing sugar.
• Pipe the icing on the truffles: in a wavey shape on top.
• Decorate with sprinkles: I chose the holly sprinkles from The Baking Time Club (AMY20 saves you 20% off orders).

Can I use any cookies in a Vegan Christmas Cookie Box?

Yes, you can use any of your favourite homemade (or shop-bought) cookies too and why not introduce a dip or some fresh seasonal fruit like in my Vegan Dessert Board.

Are these cookies gluten-free and nut-free?

Yes, these cookies are all gluten-free if you use gluten-free flour (check out the individual recipe pages for more information) and most are nut-free if you swap the nuts for seeds or extra dried fruits or chocolate, for example.

How long will this Vegan Christmas Cookie Box last for?

Once decorated and placed in position, the cookies will all keep for 1-2 days as they are best stored in airtight containers where they will last for 3-5 days or more. In that sense, it is best to make up your box the day of or the day before you want to serve it.

What other cookie recipes can I make?
