The perfect holiday cookie recipe that tastes just like Christmas! These Vegan White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies are gluten-free, allergy-free, and full of dairy-free white chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candies! Easy and delicious, they're a fun addition to your seasonal cookie swap and dessert platters!

If you aren't baking a new batch of cookies (almost) every day, is it even December? With a cookie recipe that tastes just like Christmas (or what you'd presume Christmas to taste like. Fall tastes like pumpkin spice, Winter tastes like peppermint), it would be a tragedy not to bake up a batch! Sure, we have our chocolate peppermint cookies, but why not some WHITE chocolate to bring on the snowy vibes! White chocolate peppermint, so sweet, minty fresh, and one of the definitions of the holiday season!

I got the idea to make these Christmas cookies after an outing with my mom. She stopped in Starbucks and ended up getting a "White Peppermint Mocha" latte. Pretty sure they gave her the standard "Peppermint Mocha", as there was nothing "white" about it. How is one to make up for the lack of white chocolate love, specifically vegan, dairy-free, allergy-free white chocolate love? With the holy grail of allergy-free white chocolate chips, of course! I knew these chips would make out allergy-free holiday season that much brighter!

What you need for these cookies

These gluten-free Christmas cookies are easy and reminiscent of making some peppermint bark!

Ingredients for white chocolate peppermint cookies:

  • Gluten-Free Baking Flour
  • Baking Soda
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Commercial Egg Replacement
  • Vegan Butter
  • Allergy-Free White Chocolate Chips
  • Peppermint Candies
  • Peppermint Extract

Ingredient swaps:

  • If you for some reason HATE white chocolate, feel free to use allergy-free dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet chips!
  • As always, to reduce sugar, I use Swerve Brown Sugar and Swerve Granulated Sweetener.
  • My favorite egg replacement is from Bob's Red Mill, but any powdered egg replacement will work.
  • You can use round peppermint candies or candy canes!

The best way to crush peppermint candies

Here comes the fun part. As with any Christmas treat that requires peppermint candies, sure, you can go the lazy route and by pre-crushed peppermints, but wouldn't you rather do it yourself!? Time to get out all the "holiday stress" and crack those candies yourself! I like to unwrap and place my mints in a plastic or paper bag, place the bag until a towel, and bang those babies with a rubber hammer or rolling pin! Easy as pie (or...cookies) and you can crack the pieces to your desired size! I like a combination of small and large pieces for my cookies.

Add these to your Christmas cookie bucket list; enjoy a batch yourself with your family or gift them up for friends and loved ones! You can keep these cookies fresh in an air-tight closed container for 2-3 weeks, making them perfect for shipping cross-country too! Not only that, but they are:

  • Gluten-Free
  • Vegan
  • Allergy-free (Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free, Peanut-Free, Wheat-Free, Sesame-Free, Corn-Free, Coconut-Free)
  • Oil-Free
  • Lower in Sugar
  • Kid-Friendly
  • Great for the entire winter holiday season!

    These look yummy! I'm not vegan, but I have several vegan (and GF) friends, and it's hard to find treats to make this time of year. I'll definitely be switching out the white chocolate for dark though...blech, white chocolate hater here. Hehe.
