13 BEST Vegan and Gluten Free Cookies

Cookies are probably one of my favorite things ever. Especially chocolate chip cookies. But I get a lot of requests for vegan recipes, so I’ve rounded up all of my favorite vegan gluten free cookies!

From chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, peanut butter, tahini cookies, funfetti and everything in between.

Some are healthy and made from chickpeas (!), some are rich and indulgent with (vegan) butter and plenty of sugar, but all are delicious, easy to make and you’d never guess they’re vegan and gluten free!

Frequently asked questions

Do you need to chill cookie dough?

If the recipe tells you to chill the dough, don’t skip this step! Chilling cookie dough is important both for flavor and texture. Most of these recipes don’t require it, or only require you chill for abut 20 minutes.

What flour is best?

These recipes use a variety of flour blends. Some use almond flour, some a gluten free all purpose blend or a mix of both. My favorite GF blend is Bob’s Red Mill, but whichever you use, make sure it has xanthan gum in the blend.

Can you freeze vegan cookies?

Generally, yes! You can freeze them either before you bake or after. if freezing before, you’ll want to lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees and add a couple of minutes to the bake time to account for the frozen dough.

If freezing after baking, I like to let them cool, wrap each cookie in plastic wrap, then place in a zip lock bag. Reheat in the oven until warm!
