Looking for a vegan Easter cookies recipe? Look no further. These crumbly egg-shaped cookies will make a lovely edible gift for loved ones, especially if you are looking for something that isn’t a traditional egg and just happens to be vegan too.
Slightly reminiscent of shortbread, these snack-sized treats pair perfectly with an afternoon cuppa. But best of all, they are super simple to make and are very child friendly. So if you are looking for some Easter baking inspiration for the whole family, look no further.
One bit of advice before you whip up a batch of vegan Easter cookies: find a plant-based chocolate that you really like. Not all are created equal and you don’t want sub-par decorations ruining all your hard baking work. Or, if you’re not so much of a chocolate fan, how about using regular icing and bringing a little color onto the mix too? (Be sure to check your color additives are vegan!)
Also, don’t be afraid to experiment with flavors other than vanilla. If you love the sweetness of almonds, why not substitute the vanilla extract with almond essence instead? You’ll get a tasty marzipan-like vegan Easter cookie that is sure to be a hit too.
On with the baking!
