We all have that friend who isn't into cake. So what do you make for those people when their birthday comes around? This Vegan Cookie Cake of course.
Ingredients for Making the Vegan Cookie Cake
This cookie cake recipe is SO simple to make. Here is what you will need.
Vegan Butter: My preferred type of vegan butter are Soy Free Earth Balance Buttery Sticks.
Sugar: Regular granulated sugar, here.
Molasses: Molasses lends a brown sugar flavor to this recipe.
Flax Egg: A combination of ground flax and water makes a flax egg! The flax egg helps bind the cookie dough.
Vanilla: Vanilla rounds the flavor out.
Flour: Basic all purpose is all you need for this recipe.
Baking Powder and Soda: To keep this cookie chewy, not dense.
Salt: For balance.
Chocolate Chips: I added plenty of chocolate chips to this Vegan Cookie Cake.
Finding the Right Tart Pan
There are many different tart pans out there. I always prefer ones with a removable bottom for easy slicing and serving. It makes everything way easier, so thats what I recommend.
I used a 10 inch tart pan, but if yours is 9 inches, this recipe will still work, your cookie cake will just be a little thicker.
How to Decorate the Vegan Cookie Cake
I chose my Vegan Chocolate Buttercream Frosting to decorate my cake. But if you don't want to make frosting, store bought is fine.
There are SO many vegan options.
Check out this Grocery Store Vegan Frosting Guide by The Vegans Pantry for a more detailed look into the options.
How to Store the Cookie Cake
This cookie cake is best the day of or next day, so don't make it too far in advance. To store it, keep it in the tart pan and tightly wrap it with plastic wrap.
Keep the tightly wrapped cookie cake at room temperature for no more that 2 days.
