Not all great cookie recipes need to include dairy in order to be delicious as these vegan cherry chocolate oatmeal cookies by Love & Lemons prove. These cookies are conveniently made without any animal or animal by-products without compromising on taste or flavor.
Without eggs or dairy, these cookies use other all natural substitutes to bind the biscuits together. The eggs are replaced with a flax-egg made from warm water and ground flaxseeds that combine to make a thickening agent. The cookies also include healthy alternatives such as coconut oil, maple syrup, whole rolled oats and brown sugar. To add some sweetness to the recipe, chocolate chips and tart cherries are stirred into the vegan mixture.
