Cookies, cookies, cookies! Check out this list of easy vegan cookie recipes. We're celebrating national cookie day the best way we can, by showing you the most incredible list of cookies ever created!
WHAT IS NATIONAL COOKIE DAY?
Did you know that today is National Cookie Day? I didn’t either until Alex told me about it yesterday! And as fate would have it, I was finishing up a post on my vegan raw chocolate chip cookie dough balls. Warning, they are dangerously good. Like, you might end up eating them all before you realize what happened.
So, National Cookie Day, who, what, where, and when? Those are the questions I always ask myself about days such as this. Is this a government issued holiday created to give our leaders another vacation day so they can sit around eating cookies? Probably not, although I wouldn’t be surprised. Nope, as expected, this day was created by…….A COOKIE COMPANY!!!! Surprise!!!
After about five minutes of research I learned that in 1987, Blue Chip Cookies proclaimed December 4th as National Cookie Day. A brilliant marketing and promotional ploy by Matt Nader, the President of the small San Francisco based cookie company. Bravo Matt, bravo!
HOW ARE WE CELEBRATING NATIONAL COOKIE DAY?
So here we are, in the midst of the holiday baking season, and we all get to celebrate National Cookie Day to kick it off. Oh, one more thing, while researching this day, I discovered that December 18 is Bake Cookies Day. Really? When will it end?
Check out all of the food holidays that we are supposed to keep up with!
To celebrate this historic (insert friendly sarcasm) day, we thought it only fitting to share some of our cookie recipes, as well as some of our favorite cookie recipes from some of our favorite bloggers. These ladies are awesome, as are their recipes. Not all of them are vegan bloggers, but once in a while they throw in a vegan recipe that makes us jump up and down with excitement. Let’s do this!
