Christmas is on its way
As the days are getting colder and the nights are getting longer, there’s one thing I always look forward to: Twinkle lights and cookie baking. And yes, it usually exactly in that order. Because these lights have something cozy and comforting. While the cookies can then comfort from the inside 😉.
Have you started baking yet? I accidentally (don’t ask me HOW this is even possible) made 4 different kind if batches of vegan Christmas Cookies yesterday. Well, here’s the first for you. Made with vegan cream cheese to make it extra soft and more nutritious. Enjoy!
- 100 g vegan cream cheese
- 100 g spelt flour
- 100 g vegan butter
- 50 g brown sugar
- 40 g cornstarch
- 2 tbsp plant-based milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- powdered sugar for decoration - optional
-
Preheat the oven to 180℃/350℉ (circulating heat). Line one baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl combine vegan cream cheese, lemon juice and sugar.
-
Add butter and mix again.
-
Add remaining ingredients and whisk until well combined.
-
Cover your hands with flour and then - one at a time - take 1 tablespoon of the batter and form little balls.
-
Transfer to baking tray and gently flatten them a little bit with the tip of your fingers.
-
Bake for about 12 minutes until slightly golden.
-
Let cool on the baking tray.
-
Cover with powdered sugar if you like.
-
Once cooled, store in an airtight container.

Don't forget to #therawberryeats over on instagram if you remake this one. I'd love to see your recreations. 🎉
I used a vegan “Quark” option for this one. Quark is similar to cream cheese but different as it is curdled. I’ve did a poll over on instagram asking for this product in different countries. In the US it’s apparently pretty similar to greek yoghurt. But vegan cream cheese will do a good substitute.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. And if you try it I’d be super happy to hear how you liked it! Simply tag me @therawberry over on instagram or leave me a comment below.
Happy baking 🍴
Marie 🤗
