Once we introduced the ninth annual VegNews Holiday Cookie Contest, we couldn’t wait to see what our readers would whip up. After receiving an amazing variety of mouthwatering cookie recipes, we had the robust process of narrowing the entries to simply 10 finalists. And after a number of days of rigorous cookie judging (and sugar comas), we offer you our three esteemed winners. Congratulations to all, and joyful baking!
First Place:
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake Cookies With Vanilla Icing
by Isabella Rubinson
Your favourite candy breakfast cake will get reworked right into a pumpkin-spiced cookie on this First Place recipe.
Second Place:
Vegan Chai-Spiced Sugar Cookies With Spiked Eggnog Frosting
by Sylvie Boucher
A boozy, rum-spiked eggnog frosting takes this award-winning recipe to the following degree.
Third Place:
Vegan Shortbread Raspberry Jam Sandwich Cookies With Vanilla Icing
by Lauren Toyota
A delightfully buttery shortbread cookie types the bottom of this VegNews’ editor-favorite recipe, which is accomplished with a tangy-sweet do-it-yourself jam filling and delicate icing.
So what do our three winners obtain for his or her award-winning cookie recipes? Vegan cookies, in fact! Our First Place winner Isabella Rubinson can be receiving a Yr of Vegan Cookies from Outstanding Foods in flavors like Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate Chip, and Oatmeal Raisin. For our Second and Third Place winners Sylvie Boucher and Lauren Toyota, they’ll every be receiving a case of those unbelievable, soon-to-launch vegan cookies.
