How to Store Vegan Levain-Style OREO Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tips to Make Vegan Levain-Style OREO Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Use cold vegan butter: This helps to create a chewy texture.
  • Don’t overmix the dough: Mix until just combined to keep the cookies tender.
  • Experiment with flavors: You can add nuts or different types of vegan chocolate for a unique twist.

Variation

You can easily switch out the OREOs for other types of vegan cookies or add in nuts like walnuts or pecans. For an extra minty flavor, consider adding a few mint leaves or using more peppermint extract.

FAQs

Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of stevia-sweetened ones?

Yes, you can use regular chocolate chips if you don’t need a sugar-free option.

What can I use instead of flax eggs?

You can substitute with applesauce or mashed bananas, though this may slightly alter the flavor and texture.

How do I know when the cookies are done?

The cookies should look golden brown on top while the centers remain soft. They will firm up as they cool.
