Soft and Gooey Vegan Cookie Recipe – Easy and Quick
These homemade vegan cookies are soft and chewy in the center, slightly crispy around the edges, and incredibly delicious thanks to Yumgo Whole Egg, our plant-based egg substitute. Perfect for snack time, brunch, or a coffee break, they come together in just a few simple steps — with no eggs or dairy products.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a mixing bowl, combine: plant-based butter, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes, then on medium speed for 3 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
- Rehydrate the Yumgo Whole Egg: mix the powder with water until smooth and fluid (If using the liquid version, simply weigh out 50 g directly).
- Gradually add the rehydrated Yumgo and the vanilla to the previous mixture, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
- Add the sifted flour all at once or in two additions. Mix gently until a smooth dough forms.
- Optional: Add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits.
- Place the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until firm enough to portion.
- This also helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F), fan-assisted or conventional heat.
- Scoop portions of dough using an ice cream scoop or tablespoon. Shape into slightly flattened balls (about 1 cm / 0.4 inch thick).
- Arrange them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your oven.
Let the cookies cool, then enjoy!
