Couldn't help but chuckle when realizing that the fine mesh strainer is one she broken with pasta in it on a previous video! Hopefully someone gets you a new strainer for Christmas Lauren!
I follow quite a few vegan food channels and hot for food is hands down the best. so innovative and flavoursome. hot for foods deserves way more credit!
I made these for a family Christmas party last weekend and everyone loved them! No one knew they were vegan! I used vegan margarine and did the cookie cutter method and they turned out great!
I love the simplicity of this recipe!!! Just basic ingredients that are already in my cabinets!! They look delicious, definitely a must for my Christmas party!! Thank you so much Lauren 😁💕🌲
I made these and they were amazing!! I’m watching food network right now and a picture of them are in a commercial for a holiday baking guide! Wish they put your name next to the photo 😆❤️
Made these for a Christmas Party and they were a hit! I did change the frosting a bit with more butter and less almond milk instead of water. Highly recommend!!
So creative and pretty and festive! :) Congrats! I like this step by step recipe video from the blog, because you usually take more time to really explain it all :) Thanks Lauren!
These would be bomb as chocolate orange sandwiches also. You could sub in orange zest/ orange oil for peppermint in the frosting and sprinkle the sides with crystallised orange :)
Lauren, please make a swiss roll cake sometime! There isnt any vegan recipes that are good that I can find, but I'm sure you would be able to make one. You're one of my fave channels! 💚
I made something similar to this before I was vegan, but the cookie was more of a cake. I think they're called woopie pies. This looks amazing though. It's like an oreo of awesomeness.
Mmmmm. I love chocolate and peppermint/mint together!! These look so good. Are candy canes already vegan or would I have to look for a vegan candy cane?
"We're gonna start by whipping some vegan butter so lets get goin'~! . . . I lied, we have to sift the dry ingredients first. There is an order to the madness of baking"
OH MY GOD ITS MY DREAM! No coconut or dates! I know they are staples and so many people like to utilize them but im really not a fan of either...I can still taste them when used in things. Cant wait to make these!
I couldn’t find vegan butter anywhere in stick form so mine was more of a margarine base. I used earth balance. My dough is in the fridge chilling, but I’m worried how they will turn out because my dough was super super soft. It wasn’t so much sticky, but very soft. I doubled the recipe to make about 40 something cookies and now I’m worried I just wasted a bunch of ingredients. Ahhhh!
Thanks for the holiday recipe! I need to make some yummy sweets for all the get togethers I'm going to. Not so much for me, since I don't like sweets that much, but for my friends who think being vegan is so restrictive and lame. No it's not! Look at those cookies!! LOOK AT THEM!
What type of stick vegan butter are people using? Has anyone else noticed Earth Balance Sticks do not taste the way they used to in baked goods? I can't find any other complaints about this but something has changed dramatically in my opinion.
I felt Earth Balance Sticks absolutely ruined a batch of sugar cookies, so bad they hit the compost pile. The spread is wonderful but something seems really fishy with the sticks, very strong unpleasant taste when baked. The EB sticks used to be my go to for baking, not anymore!
yea it doesn't melt once with the sugar and there's nothing to go bad in it. Its just oil. You can refrigerate or freeze but you'll need to let them come to room temp so their not hard when you eat them!
Have to try this! I do love chocolate and mint. I love the chocolate mint Clif Bars and need to find a recipe for them that don't have all the syrups and more about protein than it being an energy bar....help....
Omg, you kept the strainer from the Recipe?! video when it broke XD (The carbonara one??) Also if you're wondering earth balance starts to melt at 78F (where as animal butter melts at body temp :D) I used to work at a vegan bakery and we used earth balance for EVERTHING
I made these cookies last year and it was a huge fail! 😂 but now that there is a video, I see everything I did wrong and am definitely giving it another go. Can’t wait!
oh ya I guess you could freeze it BUT I haven't tried it that way and not even sure if the margarine would act diff. Its so different than the butter product TBH
I don’t know about that frosting.. I like it to be more of a whipped cream consistency actually but I guess that’s just a preference I guess, those still look great through
You are SOOOOOOO my sister from another mister, Lauren ! You love triple D, you adore chocolate mint flavor.r, you are vegan and love good vegan comfort food,... we are true soulmates !
"I know these look disgusting, but just stop laughing" 😂😂😂😂😂

HAHAAA insidey!

I died laughing! These look amazing, will have to try them out!

I may or may not have had four on Monday.... they're SOOO good!!

These are SO good, I snagged some extras before I left on Monday ;)

I want to make these and put peanut butter icing in the middle...
Merry (almost) Christmas! 🎄I preordered the cookbook and I can't wait!!!
The ASMR of the candy canes in the coffee grinder was my fave part
Yum! I was just thinking I wanted to make a peppermint dessert for xmas dinner, coming thru again !
can't wait to make these! I made one of your holiday cookies last year and they were delicious
just preordered your book and I'm so excited, its so adorable that jenna and julien have their own comment in the reviews section
How are your recipes always so creative! Would have never thought of any of this myself, need to try these now that I'm on holiday!
omg I remember you from much music!!!! I remember meeting you years ago. So glad i stumbled on this channel!!
These would be bomb as chocolate orange sandwiches also. You could sub in orange zest/ orange oil for peppermint in the frosting and sprinkle the sides with crystallised orange :)
omg yea! good idea!
And perfect for me!!! I love chocolate and mint. Just made thin mints too. yum
Lauren, please make a swiss roll cake sometime! There isnt any vegan recipes that are good that I can find, but I'm sure you would be able to make one. You're one of my fave channels! 💚
woah so cute!! love these. can we get a shot of mr. snickle in a santa claus hat?
HAHA maybe on instagrams!
Your happy jig is always fun to watch.
Made your gingerbread cookies last year, making these this year 😍😍😍
What was this music Lauren? I loved it. So cozy and warm :) and these look DELICIOUS!!!
Made these last year! They are amazing can’t wait to make them again
I made these last year for Christmas and they were such a hit with my non vegan family!!! I’m already planning to make them again this year YUM
I'm living for these uploads!
THESE LOOKS AMAZING LAUREN!!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME! now i need to make some...
Where did you find vegan candy canes? I've been searching for ones everywhere!
It looks soooo good ! I'm definitely going to make these ! Thank you :)
To be honest, your recipes are fantastic when it comes to desserts. I'm not vegan, but I still wanna try this recipe just using non vegan ingredients.
I would really love a meal prep series because I am running out of ideas for lunch for work! ( the only thing I food prep)
Your hair is always so perfect!
I made something similar to this before I was vegan, but the cookie was more of a cake. I think they're called woopie pies. This looks amazing though. It's like an oreo of awesomeness.
Mmmmm. I love chocolate and peppermint/mint together!! These look so good. Are candy canes already vegan or would I have to look for a vegan candy cane?

"We're gonna start by whipping some vegan butter so lets get goin'~! . . .

these look so bomb omg
ive been looking around for some good vegan empanada recipes... any suggestions?
Somebody get this girl a stand mixer for Christmas! Looking at you KitchenAid. 😂
HAHAA
Maybe I'm just an old school baker but I don't use my stand mixer near as often as I expected.
definitely going to make this for my holiday party!!
Totally making these today! Happy holidays Lauren!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS xo
Looks good... would it still be the same if you mixed the candy cane dust in the icing?
yea you could. I just thought this looks nicer for photos and there's less candy cane
These look like so much fun!
These look beautiful. But I will never get the chocolate&mint combination. Will make the cookies, though :)
yaaay!! im so going to make these and force my relatives to eat them! love your guys recipes :) Merry soon to be Christmas!
I can tell you're single again, because you look fine like a glass of wine. Truly stunning, Lauren, you better be hella feelin' yourself.
OH MY GOD ITS MY DREAM! No coconut or dates! I know they are staples and so many people like to utilize them but im really not a fan of either...I can still taste them when used in things. Cant wait to make these!
Chocolate and mint is everything!!! I don't like cookies, weird, I know. BUT I cannot wait to make these
Can I use coconut oil instead of butter?
So glad you're releasing a cookbook lol i cant buy it cuz poor people problems but still excited 💕
A co-worker of mine just today showed me a chocolate peppermint cake recipe that she liked. I'll send her this so she can "vegan it!!"
Man its almost 3am here in Sydney, Aus. Lots of love, appreciate all your vids💗
Why would you be up at that time of day?
chocolate and mint belong together.
I couldn’t find vegan butter anywhere in stick form so mine was more of a margarine base. I used earth balance. My dough is in the fridge chilling, but I’m worried how they will turn out because my dough was super super soft. It wasn’t so much sticky, but very soft. I doubled the recipe to make about 40 something cookies and now I’m worried I just wasted a bunch of ingredients. Ahhhh!
Totally making these for my potluck at work next week :)
WOW! I cannot wait to make these with my kids, and my son's school has a cookie swap! YAY! Thank you!
Thanks for the holiday recipe! I need to make some yummy sweets for all the get togethers I'm going to. Not so much for me, since I don't like sweets that much, but for my friends who think being vegan is so restrictive and lame. No it's not! Look at those cookies!! LOOK AT THEM!
Totes going to make these! Thanks Lauren! :D
What type of stick vegan butter are people using? Has anyone else noticed Earth Balance Sticks do not taste the way they used to in baked goods? I can't find any other complaints about this but something has changed dramatically in my opinion.
bessoncape1 I noticed it! Earth balance has a vegetable type after taste to it in baked good which is weird because it's great as a spread on toast.
I felt Earth Balance Sticks absolutely ruined a batch of sugar cookies, so bad they hit the compost pile. The spread is wonderful but something seems really fishy with the sticks, very strong unpleasant taste when baked. The EB sticks used to be my go to for baking, not anymore!
Trader Joe's has a new (but pricy) vegan cultured butter stick. I have yet to try it but I'm rarely disappointed with their products.
Could you use nut/ milk or coconut milk instead of the water in the icing?
yup
the butter is with o without salt?
Are they crispy or chewy?
they're on the softer side
So they can be stored at room temperature even though there’s butter in the icing?
yea it doesn't melt once with the sugar and there's nothing to go bad in it. Its just oil. You can refrigerate or freeze but you'll need to let them come to room temp so their not hard when you eat them!
Have to try this! I do love chocolate and mint. I love the chocolate mint Clif Bars and need to find a recipe for them that don't have all the syrups and more about protein than it being an energy bar....help....
where do you get your glass mixing bowls from?
they're linked in the description if you check out the amazon shop!
Omg, you kept the strainer from the Recipe?! video when it broke XD (The carbonara one??) Also if you're wondering earth balance starts to melt at 78F (where as animal butter melts at body temp :D) I used to work at a vegan bakery and we used earth balance for EVERTHING
What brand of vegan butter do you use?
Kelsey Buckley Earth Balance is always good
I want one right now! 😩
What would happen with shortening instead of vegan butter?
I made these cookies last year and it was a huge fail! 😂 but now that there is a video, I see everything I did wrong and am definitely giving it another go. Can’t wait!
Take a shot every time she says well combined
Does anyone else have as much trouble as I do finding vegan candy canes?!
wheres another cooking competition with john!!! i would love to see an eggnog and dessert holiday style
with the margarin dough, can't you just freeze it and then cut it instead of rolling it out?
oh ya I guess you could freeze it BUT I haven't tried it that way and not even sure if the margarine would act diff. Its so different than the butter product TBH
I don’t know about that frosting.. I like it to be more of a whipped cream consistency actually but I guess that’s just a preference I guess, those still look great through
I can’t wait to make these!!
wow these look amazing!
That looks delish
Im just looking for the recipe that samara redway used cause i want to try so if someone could help that would be very nice :) thank u
