Is it possible to have a tasty, ooey-gooey cookie that is vegan? Yes, and egg and butter-free never tasted better than Maya’s cookies. Maya Madsen, owner and baker, has taken her passion for cooking, healthy eating and sweet tooth to a new level that has made her the country’s top Black-owned vegan bakery.

It’s been an intense year, and we cannot wait for Santa to drop by with our Christmas treats. In an effort to rush in much-needed holiday cheer, we decked the halls before Thanksgiving and we are stocking up on all the goodies to support independent vegan businesses and indulge our cookie cravings. From holiday cookie tins to festive chocolate assortments, these 15 Christmas sweets will make you merrier with each bite.
