Vegan Butter Cookies
Ho, Ho, Ho! Are you all in the Christmas spirit yet? Christmas fever has gripped me these days. I diligently bake cookies every weekend. This time these delicious vegan butter cookies were made!
During Advent, I almost always start the day with Christmas carols – or listen to them during my daily walks. That puts me in a super mood.
So, a little tip by the way for all those who are currently stuck in the winter blues: Just listen to a few Christmas classics and the mood will be better again, at least it helps me quite well.
Last weekend I dared to make vegan “butter” cookies and I really have to say, that worked quite well!

Time is flying and Christmas will soon be here again, but before that, cookies need to be baked.
For me, baking cookies is simply part of the pre-Christmas season. It is a nice tradition to bake cookies with Christmas music on a quiet day.
And you don’t necessarily need eggs and milk, you can do it without and they still taste great!
I gave the butter cookies to family and friends as a gift. Even all non-vegans found them very tasty.
I also reduced the sugar. Instead of conventional sugar, I worked mostly with my now all-rounder agave syrup and that also worked very well.
The butter can be easily replaced with (vegan) margarine and generally it does not need many ingredients.
