Subtly sweet, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and topped with a festive crunch of nonpareils. I’ve recreated that beloved texture in this bakery-style version, but added my own signature touch with vanilla powder, real vanilla bean paste, and the option for a hint of citrus and almond to elevate the flavor. These cookies aren’t overly sweet like typical sugar cookies — they’re firm, but delicate, buttery, and just as beautiful on a dessert table as they are comforting with a cup of coffee or milk.

These cookies are soft, chewy, gooey, and packed with luxurious melted chocolate, all while being completely dairy-free and egg-free. Whether you’re baking for a crowd or just treating yourself, these are guaranteed to satisfy any cookie craving.
