As we approach the season of love, what better way to show your affection than with a sweet, homemade treat? I'm thrilled to highlight our favorite product for Valentine's Day that's sure to win hearts: Gluten-Free and Vegan Valentine's Day Sugar Cookies. Crafted with love and inclusivity in mind, these cookies are not just a treat for the palate but a celebration of everyone's ability to enjoy the sweetness of Valentine's Day, regardless of dietary restrictions.
Allergen Free Sugar Cookies
Our Chelsea Approved Sugar Cookie Mix is the star of this recipe, with an impressive certification list of being gluten-free, vegan, kosher, and free from the Top 9 allergens. This incredible mix offers a seamless baking experience, requiring only the addition of oil, water, and vanilla to create a smooth, pliable dough. These cookies are easy to make and easy to eat!
Delightful Texture and Taste
The beauty of these cookies lies in their texture and taste. They emerge from the oven with a delightful crunch on the bottom, yet remain soft and tender on the inside. The vanilla flavor perfectly complements the sweetness, making these cookies an ideal canvas for your creative decorations. For Valentine's Day, and every occasion, we love using Ann Clark USA cookie cutters to shape these treats ready to be decorated with an easy-to-make pink frosting.
Personalized Decorations
The frosting is a simple blend of powdered sugar and cranberry juice adds a pop of pink color perfect for the occasion. This homemade icing is as beautiful as it is delicious, allowing you to personalize each cookie with messages of love or intricate designs.
Our favorite way to make this frosting is with cranberry juice, but you can use any red fruit juice you have in your fridge! Raspberry, strawberry, or even beet juice all make a great option for creating this beautiful pink frosting without needing food coloring.
A Celebration of Love and Inclusivity
These gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and allergen-free treats are all about bringing folks together and spreading the love far and wide. Planning a big Valentine's bash, sending a care package, or just treating yourself? These cookies are ready to make those moments even sweeter!
Gluten-Free Desserts for Everyone
This Valentine's Day, embrace the spirit of inclusivity and love with our Gluten-Free and Vegan Valentine's Day Sugar Cookies. They're not just a dessert; they're a celebration of love, accessible to everyone. Happy baking, and may your Valentine's Day be filled with sweetness and joy!

Notes and Baking Tips
1. Neutral Cooking Oil: You can use any high heat oil, but we recommend Canola Oil, Vegetable Oil, or Avocado oil. If you are going to use Coconut Oil make sure it is rated for high heat, and melt it in the microwave before mixing with the mix.
