VEGAN DROP COOKIE



Vegan Drop Cookie image

This recipe was found in "Clean Food". I must recommend this cookbook for anyone who is vegan and likes to eat clean; it's absolutely fabulous! This cookie recipe can be modified in so many ways. It uses mashed bananas as the binder, so if you don't like bananas, next... That said, I think it would be a lovely way to make a "banana bread cookie" and I hope to try that next! The cookies turn out soft and cake-like, so yum. Feel free to play with this (or any recipe) to cater to your taste or needs! I cannot use a lot of sugar, so I try to substitute with Stevia or Agave.

Tips for Making Perfect Vegan Drop Cookies:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps you get evenly sized cookies that will bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies on a parchment paper lined baking sheet: This will help prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

Conclusion:

Vegan drop cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect vegan drop cookies that are soft, chewy, and full of flavor. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet snack, give these vegan drop cookies a try!
