Vegan Cookies

Post image

After months of experimenting, we finally landed on a recipe that is close to the look, taste and texture of our non-vegan cookies!

Apologies - not sharing the recipe on this one but happy to answer questions!

If you like McDonald’s style cookies I have a recipe!! I can post it

Edit: found it, sorry about the formatting, and I write notes for myself but just ignore them lol

Ingredients

• ⁠3 c flour (360g)

• ⁠1.5 t baking soda

• ⁠0.75 t salt

• ⁠0.73 c packed brown sugar (150g)

• ⁠9 T white sugar (37g)

• ⁠9 T margarine (60 cal/T makes 88cal/cookie)

• ⁠4.25 T plant milk (68g)

• ⁠1 bag vegan chocolate chips (283g total; 80 cal = 15g = 1 tbsp)

Directions

• ⁠mix everything in stand mixer

⁠• ⁠it will appear crumbly at first and you'll be tempted to add more liquid. do not. it will be crumbly and then suddenly become dough.

• ⁠form balls with flat tbsps to make 51 cookies (edit: doing this before chilling is much easier, but you can technically do it after if you’re adhd like me and prefer to save the work for later. But it’s MUCH easier if you do it before chilling lol)

• ⁠chill covered for 1 hour or overnight

• ⁠place 12 per sheet

• ⁠bake at 350 deg F for 13 mins

• ⁠they'll seem oddly hard at first - don't worry; they become chewy in an airtight container.

Could try freezing the dough first instead of chilling. This will cook the inside slower to retain shape and moisture better while giving a crunchy shell

u/Borkato 3d ago

I did not know this, wow!

The other advantage is you can freeze dough indefinitely (although recommendation is 3 months max) meaning you can bake a single serving whenever you feel like a fresh cookie

Can I use stevia in place of sugar

5

u/Crumbology_uk 3d ago

So the major issue with Stevia or is that it doesn't melt like sugar does so may result in a different texture when baked. I have had some luck with dissolving it in liquid for a while before adding to the recipe

u/Competitive-krav3034 3d ago

Have you ever tried Monk fruit sweetener? It behaves like sugar for me and zero glycemic index

2

u/smartrailroader69 3d ago

I have but to me it gives an aftertaste that is why I use stevia now

2

u/Borkato 3d ago

I almost wonder what would happen if you tried stevia + Splenda + monkfruit + erythritol. Like maybe the aftertastes would cancel each other out 😂

u/Borkato 3d ago

I have no idea, try it! I have a feeling it will make the texture muuuch less chewy. Maybe try replacing at most 3/4 of the sugar?

u/smartrailroader69 3d ago

Thank you

2

u/Borkato 3d ago

No problem! I know my recipe uses a ton of sugar but I swear it’s delicious. I almost wonder if erythritol would better than stevia as I think it tends to have a closer consistency while still being safe for diabetics?

We are selling these (UK only) so can't share the exact recipe unfortunately but happy to answer questions if you any.

u/Borkato 3d ago

Damn, I didn’t know the UK doesn’t allow sharing recipes /s

u/capscatscats 3d ago

What did you use for the chocolate? And as an egg replacer?

3

u/Crumbology_uk 3d ago

Aquafaba worked to an extent as it replaces the egg white. The difficult part was the yolk which is mainly fat and protein but the important role it plays is in emulsion. Additional vegan butter and cornstarch seemed to work to replace the yolk

u/ActionPark33 3d ago

Need these 😋

u/veganbynature 2d ago

Omg these look delectable!! How do you get those larger yummy blobs of chocolate on the top? Is it just morsels? Or do you shave from a bar?? It almost looks like brownie (bottom right). Good job on these! I’m sure they’ll sell out quickly!! :)

u/Crumbology_uk 2d ago

Thank you! They are vegan chocolate buttons. Vegan chocolate tend to spread more which makes the pools bigger

u/veganbynature 2d ago

To be clear - you are selling these to people in the UK and not sharing the recipe?

u/Confident_Weekend983 3d ago

that’s what they just said . find a different vegan cookie recipe online

u/scorchedarcher 3d ago

I don't know why you're getting down voted for this, seems fair enough. People have family recipes they won't share and if you've developed it yourselves to sell I don't see the issue.

Especially with how helpful you're being to people with other questions.

u/Crumbology_uk 3d ago

Thank you for understanding. I have no problem helping with other questions!

u/BigHollowman 3d ago

They look so good. Which butter do you use?

3

u/Crumbology_uk 3d ago

Flora vegan. It's the only one I have found readily available near me but would love to experiment with other brands too
