This Single-Serve Christmas cookie is gluten free, vegan, and uses only a few simple ingredients. It’s one of the fastest and easiest Christmas cookies you can make. This soft, chewy, giant cookie is topped with a creamy sweet frosting that is sure to make this one of your holiday favorites!

Christmas cookies are something to look forward to every year. There are so many different recipes to choose from! Don’t get me wrong, I love taking the time to make full batches of my favorites like my Hot Cocoa Cookies, Chai Sugar Cookies, and Snickerdoodles. I’ll either store the extras in the freezer for a quick sweet treat or I’ll share them with friends and family! Most of the time, I want to keep things simple and love baking my favorite recipes as single-serve. That way I still get to try a few different kinds of cookies without having them take over my kitchen!

That’s why this giant Single-Serve Christmas Cookie has become one of my absolute favorites over the years! It’s classic and tastes amazing with the frosting. The whole thing is soft and melts in your mouth! To really get into the Christmas spirit, I love adding sprinkles or other festive toppings. I used to love decorating cookies this time of year as a kid and that hasn’t changed one bit! You can form the dough into shapes, add different sprinkles, crushed candy canes, melted chocolate, color frosting, etc. Having a little fun with it will only help you enjoy it even more ❤️

I love making this as one giant cookie but you can also make it into a couple of smaller ones (depending on if you want to share 😉). Either way, it’s the tastiest treat for those cozy nights in watching holiday movies!

Why You’ll Love This

SO easy – It just takes one bowl, seven ingredients, and less than twenty minutes to have this delicious cookie!
Festive flavors – The vanilla and almond extract give it that perfect holiday vibe, while the frosting and toppings add creaminess and crunch.
Lower sugar – This can easily be kept refined sugar free depending on what ingredients you use, making it lower sugar than your traditional sugar cookie. I like using coconut sugar for the cookie and powdered monkfruit for the frosting. I listed a lot of other options below!
Dietary friendly – This cookie is gluten free, vegan, lower sugar, and can also be made with regular flour, dairy, and sugar if there are no dietary preferences/needs.

What You’ll Need

Cashew butter – I prefer cashew butter because it adds to the soft, creamy texture and doesn’t have much of a taste. You can use any nut or seed butter.
Sugar – I usually use coconut sugar but any granulated sweetener will work too (monkfruit, maple sugar, cane sugar, etc.)
Gluten-free flour – My favorite is Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 GF flour and what I use for most of my recipes! If you don’t need this to be gluten free, you can use regular flour.
Milk of choice – To keep this vegan, I love using homemade cashew milk or almond milk but any non-dairy milk is great. You can also use regular milk if you don’t need this to be dairy free!
Sea salt
Vanilla & almond extract – Both help bring out the sweetness and the almond extract is what gives this the sugar cookie flavor!
Baking soda

For Frosting

Vegan butter – My favorite is this one from Miyoko’s because it’s made with simple ingredients. You can use regular butter if you don’t need this to be dairy free.
Powdered sugar – For a low sugar option, I like to use powdered monkfruit but regular works too.
Milk of choice – Just a few splashes of either dairy free or regular dairy milk.

How To Make

Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add all cookie ingredients and mix well until a thick dough forms. (Tip: I like to use a silicone spatula for thicker doughs like this!)
Transfer the dough onto the baking sheet and form into a cookie shape. (Tip: You might need to dip your fingers in water so they don’t stick to the dough.)
Bake for fifteen to seventeen minutes and let it cool completely.
To make the frosting, in a mixing bowl, add small amounts (about one tablespoon each) of melted butter, powdered sugar, and a splash of milk. Mix as the frosting starts to form. Add splashes of milk until you’ve reached your desired consistency.
Add frosting and sprinkles to your cookie and enjoy!
