Hi,

Just found your website and wanted to thank you!!
Also, I was wondering if there’s a good reference out there for vegan baking that doesn’t use tofu? I’ve used applesauce…

I ask, only b/c of food allergy concerns for my sister’s son. She’s nursing and they’ve had to eliminate all dairy and as much soy as possible from her diet.

Many of the margarine options(locally available) are made from soybean oil and/or have whey in them. We’ve found the Smartbalance olive oil spread. It’s so soft (and doesn’t emulsify well). I have only tried baking brownies with it and haven’t tried cookies/scones. I may try to freeze it and make something.

any suggestions are welcome!

We made these awhile ago, and they were absolutely delicious. Using silken tofu as an egg substitute works great! I’ve used banana in some other vegan cookie experiments, and it was nice getting the moisture without the fruity flavor this time around.

We had a few experiments bumping up the spice and adding cocoa nibs with delicious results. Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow, I just tried to make tofu for the first time the other day. I can’t believe that there is tofu in these cookies. I might have to try and make them!

I looooove pb & cinnamon combos, & I love pb & chocolate combos, so this sounds amazing. I’ve made cookies w/ tofu once before but these look even better. Thanks!

Holy cow! I am thrilled to see a Joy recipe I can bake as-is for my dairy allergic daughter. I swear, you are becoming my favorite person EVAR.

These cookies sound really fun . I’ve never made vegan cookies with tofu but it sounds like a cool idea. Isn’t it nice to have friends that can bake? That way when we have a craving but are too lazy to bake something up for ourselves, they can do it for us .

I just made these cookies…they are amazing! I didn’t have any margarine so I added butter and they turned out just fine! Yummy! I will definitely make again! Thanks!
