Vegan cookies, when health meets taste

Is it possible to savor crumbly shortcrust pastries or delicious cookies, even if they are free of milk, butter, eggs, or honey? Let's debunk a myth, the answer is yes: vegan desserts are just as good and tasty as traditional ones.

Vegan cookies, the lightness that meets flavor

Like all vegan recipes, vegan cookies do not use any animal-derived ingredients. For this reason, they tend to be healthier and represent a lighter alternative compared to traditional recipes.

Ingredients for vegan cookies

Animal fats like lard and butter are replaced with vegetable margarine and vegetable oils such as soy, sunflower, coconut, or peanut oil. Whole milk is usually replaced with soy cream. But the key to everything is the balance of flavors and ingredients.

The search for this balance, along with the use of healthier ingredients, such as whole flours or sweeteners other than white sugar, are great reasons to choose vegan cookies that, contrary to what is often believed, are delightful even to the most demanding palates.

We should not think of cookies as “without” something, but as recipes that simply use different ingredients, often even better than traditional ones.

Vegan cookies: good for any time of the day

Perfect for both breakfast and a tasty snack, vegan cookies are excellent and represent the right compromise between taste and health. Naturally, they do not contain butter, eggs, or any animal-derived ingredients, but with the addition of ingredients like dark chocolate chips, they become amazing. Whether you are vegan or not, they will allow you to enjoy a small but intense moment of happiness.

Vegan cookies: all the benefits

Vegan cookies are “cruelty-free,” as they contain no animal-derived ingredients. But attention is also paid to all other ingredients: they should preferably be organic and whole, meaning as unrefined as possible. For example, whole flours, in addition to being richer in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, contribute to reducing the absorption of fats and cholesterol and to lowering the glycemic index of food, thus decreasing the insulin response, which is crucial when we talk about desserts.

They are ideal for those who want to eat healthy but at the same time do not want to give up the sweetness and goodness of cookies made with natural and tasty ingredients.
