Y’all my fam and I made these and they were a hit! I recommend making a double batch because these will be gone before Christmas. We used Enjoy Life chocolate, powered sugar w a little oat milk, crushed candy canes, and sprinkles to decorate. I have yet to find a good vegan white chocolate. Thanks for this recipe Gretchen!
Hey Gretchen, I am so excited about this recipe! I love these cookies! I know for a fact that my vegan sister Renee also loves these cookies and has not had one in years. I want to thank you for giving specifics like how many minutes it should take for the sugar and the vegan butter to mix together and which piping tip to use. I am just so excited to make these I cannot wait to see Renee's face! Also, I know that this recipe is much healthier for everyone. Fun fact - I did not know that these were called spritz cookies😂. I am going to make a lot of these cookies because when I made your pumpkin crumb cake at a family get-together expressly for my sister, everyone tried it and no one knew that it was vegan. They all loved it and my sister got only a small piece LOL. I love doing that making your recipes and not saying they are vegan until after everyone has finished eating them. LOL lots of love and hope you are well XOXO
Hi Agnes, my non vegan blog is shut down I just couldn't keep up the cost to host it on the internet and maintain it monthly anymore I had always said I would continue to share my recipes for free & give free tutorials on RU-vid for as long as I could afford to do so, and well.. I just can't anymore The cost to host such a huge database was close to $400 a month (with the maintenance cost, I needed to hire a tech guy to help keep it running smoothly) So that cost was severely outweighing any small profits I had been making though running ads on the videos & blogsite. I have not kept any of the non vegan recipes, since for over 4 years now I have been strictly vegan; so for me they are of no use. They were all housed in the database and that has shut down. Sorry Not to mention I am not comfortable sharing non vegan recipes anymore, as it promotes animal abuse and torture not to mention animal agriculture is a disease on the earth as well as human health. Thanks for your support and encouragement though the ages! ~Gretchen
Hey Gretchen, I’ve got a question here that’s a bit off topic. I absolutely love your red velvet lava cakes (and am secretly waiting for a vegan version 😉) and so does my sister in law. She’s recently moved out and not so capable in the kitchen. I was wondering if the batter can be frozen in portion sizes then defrosted and baked? I would love to be able to make her some in advance that she can basically just pop in the oven I am also very excited for this series, too!!
smita Singh I’m using this one, but I write more options on the written blog post www.amazon.com/dp/B07HB89HBF/?ref=exp_gretchensveganbakery_lv_dp_vv_mw
Hmm, I'm going to have to look at that- (jogging my memory because that was an older original recipe) but yes almond paste is vegan, I make my own homemade version that is so much better than store bought, but I suspect because I had 2 versions of this recipe (both in my bakery & on my website- that I may have just omitted the almond paste version in this updated recipe since the almond paste version got very little attention)

I just can't anymore. Many people had been helping through Patreon & PayPal, but at this point it is just not enough to pay for everything to keep it all going.
