    Best Vegan Cookies and Candies for Holiday Gifting

    One part of the holiday season that I always look forward to?

    Baking.

    Well, cooking all the festive foods, really.

    But baking all kinds of cookies and making all sorts of chocolates - I set aside several days to do just that. ...and then I'll usually add more days, because I am always adding more treats to the list! 

    For some people, I actually buy a fun holiday themed plate that is part of the gift, then fill it with sweets and drop it off or bring it along to a party they are hosting. (Wrapped up, for them to enjoy later!)

    For other cookie recipients, I'll give bakery boxes or fancy paper plates piled high with holiday goodies. These go to everyone from my hair stylist and manicurist to friends, neighbors, family, and all the delivery drivers! 

    and a few of each for our house, too.

    Happy Holidays!
