If you’re not in a Christmassy mood yet – these vegan star-shaped cookies will surely help! They are basically traditional shortbread cookies (the recipe I use, has always been vegan), but I added some cocoa powder and chocolate topping!
It’s my first vegan Christmas and I am kind of excited! What are your favourite (vegan) biscuits to make (or eat) for Christmas? Let me know in the comments.
