Kind of a longshot, but would anyone here have any recommendations for vegan cookie recipes, preferably sugar or lemon flavor and without vegan butter or margarine, if that's possible? It looks like I can only afford to give short stories and cookies for Christmas this year, one of my friends is vegan, and I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to searching for the right recipe online. Vegan dairy substitutes are also quite pricey where I live. I'd appreciate any help!

An easy option is Vegan meringues: https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/vegan-meringue-cookies/

The bonus is, you can play with flavour and color, and liberally douse them in sprinkles.

This sounds good, too! I've never made meringues before, but I guess I've never made vegan cookies either, so this'll be interesting. Now I'm tempted to give her a mix of cookies. Thanks so much!

Meringues are one of those things that I always find really intimidating when I read the recipe, but when it actually comes to making them they end up being relatively easy. They also always look so impressive, so it makes me feel like a more accomplished baker than I actually am!

One tip I can give you, if you're interested, is that, you can make striped meringues if you use a piping bag (or, like me, a baggie with a corner cut off), by painting the interior sides with stripes in the food color/color gel that you're using before piping them onto the tray.

That sounds like a good idea! I think I can make them a little more Christmasy with some stripes. Thanks!
