How Do You Make Vegan Oatmeal Cookies?
This is a great recipe for beginners since these cookies are really easy to make. The only special ingredients they need are vegan butter and ground flax seeds. These work to make the cookies moist and bind together.
To make the cookies simply beat the vegan butter and sugar together until it’s light and fluffy. This is known as “creaming the butter and sugar” and it works by trapping little bubbles of air into the dough resulting in fluffy cookies.
Then mix in the liquid ingredints followed by the dry ones. Place large spoonfuls of the dough on a parchment lined sheet and bake.
Unlike some other cookie recipes, these don’t require the dough to be chilled before baking. That means you only have to wait a few minutes before diving into them!
