If you leave these Vegan Almond Shortbread Christmas Cookies on the mantle with a vanilla nut milk, Santa might just make room on the nice list (We know, we know. You’re already on it!)
This is Christmas done right with a recipe that is vegan, gluten free, grain free, and refined sugar-free. It is always great to have a cutout cookie to decorate individually! For cookie cutters, I used a Christmas tree, candy cane, and gingerbread man – but the opportunities are endless. This recipe makes about 15 cookies, depending on size.

Ingredients
¾ cup almond flour
¼ cup coconut flour
2 tablespoons arrowroot starch
1 tablespoon coconut butter (softened)
2 tablespoons coconut oil (room temperature)
3 tablespoons maple syrup
¼ cup plant-based milk
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Frosting
For this recipe I used melted chocolate, as well as this vanilla coconut icing recipe:
1 can full-fat coconut milk
1 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoons. vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, and cinnamon.
Once the dry ingredients are combined, mix in the coconut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until a sticky, even dough is formed
Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Use cookie cutters (or your own design) to form the cookie shape you are looking for. Place each cookie on the baking sheet when done.
Put the tray of cookies in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove cookies and let cool before eating or decorating!
Frosting
Just blend the ingredients together and then spread the frosting on your cookies as you wish!
