Christmas cookie baking season has at all times been one in every of my favourite instances of the 12 months, since I used to be slightly child making cookies with my Mother. We might at all times pick a number of totally different sorts to make that sounded good to us or outdated favorites, make batches of them and freeze them to take pleasure in all through the season or to later share! I made a decision I needed to bake one thing Christmasy final weekend and I occurred to have some sweet canes available, so I made a decision to bake some Vegan White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies to kick off the vacation cookie baking this 12 months!
These are actually easy and straightforward to make and I used my chocolate chip cookie dough base as a result of it at all times comes out so good! I used coconut oil for the fats in these, but when you don’t look after coconut oil, you may use melted vegan butter as an alternative. These use apple sauce for the vegan egg alternative and it offers them an ideal chewy satisfying texture! For the flour I used complete wheat pastry flour however you may use all function flour as an alternative in the event you choose, or perhaps a gluten free all function flour (reminiscent of Bob’s Purple Mill gluten free all function baking flour which I’ve used with good outcomes).
For the flavoring in these I used each vanilla and mint. I used vanilla bean powder, but when you do not have that you may use extract as an alternative. I really feel like I gave these simply sufficient peppermint extract to taste them however not overpower because the steadiness was good! I used chopped sweet canes in these however in the event you needed to make use of these spherical peppermints chopped up these would work as properly, simply be sure that they’re vegan. For the white chocolate I used Pascha vegan white chocolate chips.
These cookies smelled wonderful whereas baking they usually tasted even higher! I imply the dough tasted wonderful too, however the gentle heat cookies with the gooey white chocolate chips and crunchy peppermints have been merely heavenly! If you’re within the temper for some scrumptious cookies, undoubtedly give these Vegan White Chocolate Peppermint Cookies a attempt!
