Mix the marzipan, cocoa powder, and rum and knead it until the whole marzipan is brown.

Vegan & Gluten-Free Holiday Cookie Party

Together with my blogger friends, we decided it would be fun to make a Holiday Cookie Party - completely vegan & gluten-free. For this reason, everyone is sharing one of their cookie recipes. I think all turned out great and drool-worthy. The Holiday Cookie Party was organized by Rebecca (Strength & Sunshine) and Natalie (Feasting on Fruit), thank you so much, ladies! :)
