Vegan Christmas Cookies

I spent the past weekend doing some Christmas shopping, and I am not only feeling like an incredibly organized person, I am full of the holiday spirit. Embracing rampant consumerism to a soundtrack of Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald is my favorite winter activity, hands down. All jokes aside, they don’t call this the most wonderful time of the year for nothing. But more than presents and shopping, this holiday is defined for me by food. And Christmas cookies are the centerpiece of my holiday food traditions.
Ever since I was a little girl, my mom and I have been making cut-out cookies. Christmas and these cookies are inextricably entwined in my memory. We’ve been using the same cookie cutters for 20 years, and their precious, and occasionally indiscernible shapes (a bear with a top hat?) are like old friends.

Cookie Christmas gifts can certainly be home made in order to make a divine cookie gift basket. Cookie Christmas Gifts come in several shapes, prices and sizes. Gourmet gift basket cookies are relatively cheap as well as a pleasure to take delivery of. Nonetheless for anyone who is feeling the pinch this Christmas do not let the very thought of not having the capacity to have the funds for to buy gifts bring you down. Try to make your own Cookie Christmas Gifts and your friends and relations likely will admire the thought in addition to the time which you put in.
You must pick a basket (These baskets are certainly not as expensive as you may presume to shop for. I purchased a lovely one with a handle for my mother-in -law’s fruit basket last week. It cost less than $5) You could decorate a box to hold your Cookie Christmas Gift if you prefer.
