From Isa Chandra's cookie cookbook, recipe also found here.


For the topping:

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


For the cookies:

1/2 cup canola oil

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

3 tablespoons almond milk (Or your preferred non-dairy milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon chocolate extract (or more vanilla extract if you have no chocolate)

1 2/3 cups flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon cayenne


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Mix the topping ingredients together on a flat plate. Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to vigorously mix together oil, sugar, syrup, and milk. Mix in extracts.

Sift in remaining ingredients, stirring as you add them. Once all ingredients are added mix until you’ve got a pliable dough.

Roll dough into walnut sized balls. Pat into the sugar topping to flatten into roughly 2 inch discs. Transfer to baking sheet, sugar side up, at least 2 inches apart (they do spread). This should be easy as the the bottom of the cookies should just stick to your fingers so you can just flip them over onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, they should be a bit spread and crackly on top. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.


Comments:

I couldn't find chocolate extract, so I used extra vanilla, they were still very chocolaty. I baked them for 10 min, they do spread a lot (mine all ran into each other). The end result was crispy on the outside and fudgey in the middle, with the heat from the cayenne coming in at the end. They were really good! My only suggestion is: depending on how you feel about cayenne, you might want to cut it in half.

I typically use Earth Balance original spread to replace butter in recipes; for eggs, it depends. You can use oil, flax seed, Ener-G egg replacer, soy yogurt, etc. I really like the Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar cookbook for making cookies. The recipes are great, and it goes into all of the different substitutes for non-vegan ingredients!

Anything written by Isa Chandra Moskowitz is fantastic, the Veganomicon and Vegan with a Vengeance are already mentioned. Here are her two dessert books as well.

  • Vegan Cupcakes Take over the world

  • Vegan Cookies invade your cookie jar

    Also, you can buy egg replacer, which is often just tapioca flour, for using in any waffle, pancake, french toast or baked recipe.

    Soy Milk can be used in place of cow milk almost 100% of the time, only if whipping the milk does it not work.

    Margarine sticks can be used in place of butter in every recipe I've ever seen, I don't want to say its infallible, but the dishes have at least turned out fine, if not identical.

    One of my favorite meals, and my own recipe:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • take a block of very firm tofu, cut it lengthwise, then cut the lengths into 1/8" slices. Brush with your favorite cooking sauce. I'm a fan of Hoison, but sweet chili, plum sauce, ponzu or even just soy sauce can do.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, then pull it out, flip the slices, brush the othersides with sauce
  • repeat flipping and brushing with sauce if needed until both sides get 2 rounds
  • Broil for 5 minutes to crisp everything up, though not really necessary.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed greens

I'm a big fan of the recipe from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. They taste like classic Tollhouse cookies - definitely a good recipe to do the "surprise, it's vegan!" thing with.

Here's a link to the recipe.

Here are some vegan baking tips from Isa Chandra Moskowitz of the Post Pink Kitchen: Vegan baking 101 from PPK.

Another good vegan baking primer from the Kitchn.

I'd say Isa and her co-author Terry Hope Romero are the authorities on vegan baking. Check out their baking cookbooks on cupcakes, cookies, and pies.

For a 1-volume comprehensive vegan baking cookbook and traditional recipes, check out Colleen Patrick Goudreau's Joy of Vegan Baking.

For a vegan baking cookbook with unique and creative flavors, try the Cheers to Vegan Sweets cookbook.

Hope this helped! Happy baking!

>Vegans can't even easily pick a fucking box of cookies at a store.

Not true! Plus vegan baking is very popular; I recently checked out this highly-rated book from my local library and plan on buying it because the cookies are amaaaaazing. (And, methinks, easy to "spice up" with some herb... ;)

>And vegans need to take Vitamin B12 as a supplement.

Vegans definitely should take B12 supplements, but the scientific literature shows that omnivores should too! Check out this section of the Wikipedia article, with studies suggesting that about 39% of the sampled group was deficient in B12. Also note that the study concerning vegetarians and vegans which is cited was performed in 1982, before foods were commonly fortified with B12 and veg folks were not warned as often about deficiency. There are more recent studies showing deficiency rates in line with the omnivorous population's rates. :) Education truly helps all people be more healthy. The more you know!

Firstly: Good luck! You're doing well already, and you'll get to where you want to be in time.

Have you got any vegan recipe books? Easy Vegan and 500 Vegan Dishes both have fairly simple but tasty dishes. I don't think they tend to need very exotic ingredients.

Easy Vegan:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vegan-Cookery-Ryland-Peters-Small/dp/1845979583

500 Vegan Dishes:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/500-Vegan-Dishes-Deborah-Gray/dp/1845434161

And do you feel that vegan meat alternatives aren't as easy to buy, or maybe aren't as good, as the vegetarian ones? You say that you eat the Linda McCartney pies, so I guess you've seen other products in that range too. But Fry's Vegetarian is great, and I've recently heard really good things about Vegusto meat alternatives - their Farmhouse sausages in particular, but also their burgers (you'll probably have to order off their website though).

Fry's Vegetarian:
http://www.frysvegetarian.co.uk/

Vegusto:

I guess you probably know about Holland and Barrett stores? They're good for getting some of the more exotic ingredients, but they also have meat alternatives and such. Also, they have a few microwaveable meals - pasties and that sort of thing - which are quite nice. You can also often get microwaveable burritos, and probably other similar things, in the frozen section.

Also here are a couple of easy meals I like:

(1) Buy refried beans (http://www.oldelpaso.co.uk/products/refried-beans/975cedfc-f177-4eda-a689-192c4ec346af/) and put it in tacos (along with corn, lettuce, tomato, and whatever else you like). (The refried beans are seriously good.)

(2) You can make falafel easily (http://www.alfez.com/moroccan_lebanese_cuisine/products/all-products/falafel.html) and eat it with houmous, because everyone likes houmous.

If you're mainly looking for sweeter things:
Co-operative custard donuts and jam donuts are both apparently vegan (and delicious). You can buy vegan ice cream in the frozen section of Holland and Barrett (and maybe at Tesco or other supermarkets) - Swedish Glace is pretty incredible, and most people say it's as good as ordinary ice cream. You can also get vegan cheesecake in Holland and Barrett, again in the frozen section. Also buy Lotus Caramelised Biscuit Spread and put it on Tesco Oaties (well, that's a combination I like, but I guess you could mix it up...).

Or if you wanted to bake, these are three really good books:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vegan-Cupcakes-Take-Over-World/dp/1569242739

http://www.amazon.com/Vegan-Pie-Sky-Out-This-World/dp/0738212741

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vegan-Cookies-Invade-Your-Cookie/dp/160094048X

(The cookie book is by far the easiest, and uses the least exotic ingredients. On the other end of the spectrum is the pie book, which uses things like coconut oil and agar agar - the first of which you can get at Holland and Barrett but the second of which you'd have to order online.)

Also, just by the way: 'What Fat Vegans Eat', a facebook page, gives you a constant stream of delicious-looking vegan food.

Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar has some no-bakes. Plus I've used random recipes from vegweb.com for no-bake stuff.

u/DEVILKITTY666 · 1 pointr/vegan

This is considered a classic cookbook:
http://www.amazon.com/Veganomicon-Ultimate-Isa-Chandra-Moskowitz/dp/156924264X/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1450780613&sr=8-4&keywords=vegan+cookbook

The definitive vegan cookies cookbook:

I really can't think of cooking or baking equipment that vegans in particular would need (?) more than an omni kitchen would. Maybe a vegan themed cooking or baking something? I'm sure a set of spices would be very appreciated.

  1. I cut out meat first because I was a vegetarian for a while, then the most expensive stuff (cheese and other dairy) except butter, then last was eggs and butter when I realized that you can bake without eggs and butter.

  2. For a while I tracked everything in Excel but it was a pain in the ass and I realized I mostly have it all in my head anyways.

  3. All over, but good places to start are Bryant Terry's books,, Alternative Vegan, Decolonize Your Diet, The Lotus and the Artichoke books, Mango and Mint, and for deserts, Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar and Vegan Pie in the Sky.

I have this cookie book and the recipes are so good that when I make them for people, they can't tell there's anything different about them. And here is someone's blog with my favourite recipe in the book. My friends like these cookies so much they call then "crack cookies".

Don't forget to roast the almonds before chopping them up. It makes a huge difference in taste and texture. Also, you may want to omit the almond extract and use all vanilla. Some people think it tastes funny.
