Who’s first to the biscuit jar? Most biscuits on sale are sold in plastic packaging and those that are vegan often have palm oil. These carrot cake cookies (Rainbow Nourishments) only need a few ingredients and are made in one bowl. And taste just like real carrot cake!
If used, choose vegan butters with no palm oil. Keep ‘human biscuits’ away from pets due to nuts, dried fruits, citrus, chocolate, nutmeg etc. Read more on food safety for people & pets.
Peanut Butter Cookies (Rainbow Nourishments) are so simple to make (just 3 ingredients). Try more of Anthea’s vegan cookie recipes.
These ginger-molasses cookies (Short Girl, Tall Order) are warm and gooey, and an ideal winter treat, flavoured with molasses (iron!) and chocolate. The recipe makes one big or two small cookies, cooked in mini skillets. The recipe uses light molasses (blackstrap is too bitter) so sub with golden syrup and for a local alternative to cranberries, try cherries, apricots or blueberries.
The recipe uses vegan butter and brown sugar, to produce warm gooey cookies that are great fresh (cooled) from the pan. They are bound with a ‘flax egg’ (whisking up ground linseeds with water). Flavoured with real vanilla, ginger spice and cinnamon, serve with vegan vanilla ice-cream.
