5 Delicious Vegan Cookie Recipes for National Homemade Cookies Day

Welcome to October and Happy National Homemade Cookies Day!  I love celebrating weird holidays don’t you???  When I saw the 1st of October celebrated homemade cookies I knew it would be fun to round up a few must-try vegan recipes to celebrate such a special day 🍪

It really isn’t difficult to make vegan cookies.  There are so many dairy products on the market to substitute to what we lovingly refer to as “veganize” a recipe.  If you happen across a recipe in your www travels, but it isn’t vegan, don’t give up!  I bet with a little tweak here and there you can make that recipe into something any vegan could love💛 Keep reading to find some tried and true vegan cookie recipes, a few from local South Floridian vegans just like me!

So I’m going to start this super basic with a pumpkin spice cookie😉 I found this recipe on Pinterest and looking at the ingredients it looks absolutely delicious!  Kim’s Cravings is not a completely vegan blog, but many recipes are vegan friendly, can be “veganized” and all are healthy and clean.  These are something nice to make and rather than bringing on a platter, prepack them in cute cookie bags.  A great way to bring something everyone will love this Fall season 🍂 

Vegan Soft Pumpkin Cookies with Cashew Icing

This next recipe was recommended to me by a fellow South Florida vegan, Jac Blades.  This Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe sounds like it has a really interesting complexity of flavor✨ I actually asked her if they had a sweet and savory thing going on, and she said that you definitely sense a depth of flavor, but you can never really pinpoint the existence of the tahini in the recipe.

She recommended this recipe from Hell Yeah It’s Vegan!  I am definitely going to spend some time perusing some of the awesome recipes on this site😍

Vegan Cinnamon Roll Cookies

The next recipe is something that to me is more a snack than a cookie!  I could probably sit with a box of graham crackers and down the whole thing.  I love the simplicity of it, not too sweet, not heavily loaded withy icing.  I am not a huge fan of icing, as something like that can go overboard real quick, and then it just gets messy having to scrape off the icing that took it too far 😂

I am not one for too much sweetness, as I am definitely someone with more of a savory palette.  These seem like they would be great to spread with a salty nut butter spread.  I found this recipe over at Emilie Eats.

I couldn’t do a cookie round up without including a peanut butter cookie recipe.  As mentioned above, I tend to reach for salty and savory and the peanut butter cookie is all that plus that subtle sweetness fix that makes it a sweet snack.  

I would imagine you could also play around with the peanut butter ingredient in this recipe and use almond or cashew butter in its place.  It might take a little tweaking, but both of those sound pretty tasty to me!  I found this one over at The Simple Veganista.  That is another great site to find some delicious recipes so I highly recommend
