Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar: 100 Dairy-Free Recipes for Everyone's Favorite Treats

I got this book in October 2010, a couple of months ago. I have made 6 different recipes so far and two of them I have made more than once. For the most part, the cookies came out looking and tasting great with a perfect texture. I shared the results with my office and people were shocked that "they have no eggs?!!??"My favorites so far are the chocolate crinkle cookies and the chocolate peanut butter pillow cookies. (I used almond butter.) Even the pillow cookies came out looking just like the picture, which means to me something about "truth in advertising". In other words, the authors really made their own cookies and took pictures of the results. I've made both of these cookies twice, so the first great results were not flukes.The book size/dimensions are ideal for a cookie cookbook. The paper size is nice and small, but the text is not. The color photographs that exist are wonderful. HOWEVER, I do wish that all the recipes had color photographs. Beware that they do not. Also, there were a couple of places where I had wished for a photograph of an intermediate step. The only photographs in the book are of the finished product.While the instructions are clearly written, there were a couple of places where I would get to a recipe and think, "Why didn't they order the ingredients a more logical way?" "Why didn't they think to say such and such? It would have made the recipe easier to make". In a world where you can get so many recipes off the internet for free, to ask people to pay for a cookbook should be to provide excellence.That said, I do believe the book deserves the 5 stars I gave it. None of the drawbacks are very serious. All of the positives are significant. I keep flipping through the pages and wanting to try everything right away. I have confidence that the results will be good, and that after the cooking, I will get to enjoy a fabulous cookie, cruelty-free.

I bought this tiny little cute book for a cookie baking blitz last November. It's joined us for two years of Vegan baking. Will it join me for a third?Uh Yeah!Great pictures and some great recipes. I think I've made ten or so of them. So here is the list of favorites....The Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows are worth the price of the book if you are a peanut butter chocolate fan. My pillows looked like little hats when finished so I'd recommend parchment paper or more chilling time. But the taste? Sweet mercy. She calls for black cocoa which is the stuff that makes oreos dark, but I used the regular stuff and they were fab. I'm a cheapskate so I don't buy a lot of non-dairy flavored chips like peanut butter and butterscotch etc and my hubby loves those chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips so I have yet to have made them since going vegan. Now I don't have to, the Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows scratch that itch.The second recipe that makes the the book a must keep forever...Caramel Pecan Bars.Warning. If you have a sweet tooth, you will be tempted to eat the whole pan. A-m-a-z-i-n-g.We also tried the following which involved mixed opinions but were solid none the less: Mocha Mamas which were nice, tasty little cookies. Starry Fudge Shortbreads were kinda meh in my opinion and a lot of work, but one girl who joined us both years is still waxing eloquently about how much she loved them.The have classic Christmas recipes, too. The Roll Out Sugar Cookies and the Gingerbreads were both great, and turned out well. The ladies know their biscotti, we didn't make a recipe from this book but the ones in Veganomicon were outstanding. So the biscotti recipes are on my radar.The cookies we haven't tried in Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar: Roasted Almond Cookies with Fleur De Sel, Rocky Roads, Peanut Apple Pretzel Drops, Citrus Glitters, Macadamia Ginger Crunch Drops...and the list goes on.It's a keeper. For sure.

Still rocks! On to update this after eating the "Lazy Samoas" we baked for the holidays this year. AWESOME!!! Son is now ten and we have tapped into this many times over the past year. Also their cupcake book is awesome. His teacher asked that I send the vegan chocolate cupcakes in for a holiday party because the class devoured them at his birthday. These ladies know vegan cooking! This cookbook rocks!!! ...Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World: 75 Dairy-Free Recipes for Cupcakes that RuleI bought this for my nine year-old son for Christmas, but gifted it to him early so that we could bake some holiday cookies together. He has multiple food allergies and this amazing cookbook has given him deliciousness that he has never experienced up to now!!! I've certainly made him some cookies over the years, but generally by making substitutions in recipes that call for dairy and eggs, so the texture is not always quite right and our brownies have generally been disastrous. The brownies in here call for tofu, and he can't have soy... but I'm wondering if we could pull it off with banana or avocado instead. I wasn't even aware that vegan chocolate chips are out there on the market. In addition to the recipes, there is an introductory section that discusses ingredients, substitutions, tools for cookie success. There is a plethora of recipes AND useful information! Hmmm... We'll still have to do some subbing or skip some recipes altogether because of nut allergies (I don't know if sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds would cut it in place of nuts in lots of the cookies?), but can't wait to make over 30 of the recipes that we've tagged as safe or easily substitutable! We've already made the peanut butter chocolate pillows, though we made them with sunflower nut butter instead, and they were SCRUMPTIOUS! This evening he picked out the mocha mamas. Again I subbed instant coffee for the coffee extract, but they are KILLER! Had to limit his cookie intake, though, so he won't be awake all night. I can't wait until he unwraps his cupcake cookbook by the same authors on Christmas day!!! Next time I send goodies in to school, I think his classmates will really dig them! THANK YOU LADIES! Your cookbook ROCKS! Signed, One Happy Mama!

After the success I had with Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, I decided to get the other two baking books by this amazing vegan baking duo. Like the cupcake book, this one also contains useful information on ingredients, utensils, and metric conversion charts, as well as advise for troubleshooting problems and substituting ingredients. This book has cookies of all types - drop cookies, bar cookies, sliced and rolled, fancy and also wholesome.I have tried several recipes from each section, and making vegan cookies has never been so easy or with such great results before. Even if you stick to just a few of the simplest choices in this book, you will be well rewarded.If you want to bake vegan cookies that are as good (or even better) than the regular varieties, get this book.

I love this book, it is great for people who want to bake vegan cookies. These recipes are easy and delicious. Love this cookbook. I recommend this product.

Le due autrici sono fantastiche, il libro è uno spasso di per sé. Le ricette ovviamente lo sono altrettanto: adattamenti vegani ai biscotti più celebri dei ricettari del mondo. Ottimo acquisto.

Un bouquin très chouette! les recettes sont géniales et certaines très rapides à faire !Il est arrivé en bon état chez moi.Je suis ravie

Este libro, al igual que el resto de los de su autora, es uno de mis preferidos en lo que se refiere a postres veganos. Las recetas son fáciles de realizar, sin ingredientes demasiado dificiles de encontrar y bien explicadas. Sus consejos también son muy buenos para ayudarnos en la realización de nuestros postres. Además sin errores de impresión. Un 10/10
