Vegan spritz cookies are ideal for all your holiday get togethers. They’re so fun and easy, especially if you have a spritz press, though you can totally shape them without one.

These crescent cookies are a tender delight, dusted with powdered sugar and infused with almond flavor. These melt-in-your-mouth treats are similar to shortbread. They bring a soft, buttery crumb to your Christmas cookie tray.

Snowball cookies get their name from that generous coating of powdered sugar, and they’re every bit the bite sized festive joy. You might know them as Mexican wedding cookies or Russian tea cakes, they’re beloved all over the world.
A simple mix of flour, coarsely ground nuts, butter, and sugar yields treats that are light, crumbly, and melt in your mouth. Rolling them in more powdered sugar right after baking doubles down on that snowy look.
