Vegan Test Kitchen Recipe: Delicious Tofu Cookies!

I’ve made these bad boys a couple times, making variations as I go. The first time I made them I used oil instead of applesauce and white flour, and they were rock hard within a few days. I also used extra-firm silken tofu. A few days ago I used the ingredients below, and they were fantastic. They were chewy and moist, oh so delicious, and they didn’t get hard! I’ll definitely keep this recipe in my good books.

 

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup applesauce

1/2 cup vegan “butter”

1/4 cup soft/medium silken tofu

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

chocolate chips (as many as you want)

 

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Combine the sugars, applesauce, and vegan butter in a food mixer and cream for 5 minutes. Puree the tofu and vanilla until smooth, and add to cream mixture. Mix well. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, and then add chocolate chips. Mould dough into balls and put on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-25 minutes.

Introductions Are Not My Strong Suit!

Why hello there! My name is Emily. I’m a 16 year old high school student with a passion for photography and water polo. I love cooking and I love being active in animal’s rights even more. I have vegetarian on and off my entire life, and I have been a committed vegetarian for about 3 and a half years. I am currently making the switch to becoming vegan, but I am spending a lot of time working at it and doing my research before labelling my lifestyle as such.

This blog, however, will not be a personal one. I will be reviewing, commenting on, and researching vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian recipes, cook books, food items, and more. Recipe reviews from blogs and cookbooks will make up most of the blog, but I will also talk about different kinds of tofu and soy products, and much much more!

Stay tuned for my first review from a fabulous cookbook called “The Complete Guide to Vegan Food Substitutions”

Enjoy!

– Emily
