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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-ricotta), whole rolled oats and brown sugar.
