Who doesn’t love Oreo cookies? But if you’re vegan, these classics can seem out of reach. Fortunately, now you can repurpose the Oreo and turn it into a delightful – and decadent – dairy-free snack. That’s right: Here’s a recipe for vegan Oreo cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter
- 2 ½ cups vegan sugar
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons aquafaba
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups white flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, combine the vegan butter and sugar. Beat until creamy and uniformly combined.

Add More Vanilla
Just like with vegan baked goods, adding a bit of vanilla extract to your Oreos is a great way to give them some extra flavor.
Experiment With Different Sweeteners
Skip the white sugar and try sweeter alternatives, such as coconut sugar, maple syrup, or a vegan honey. Not only are they easier on your blood sugar levels, but they also add unique and delicious flavors to your cookies.
Make a Vegan Chocolate Dunking Sauce
If you’re a chocoholic, take your vegan Oreos up another notch. Instead of just snacking on the cookies as-is, make a vegan chocolate sauce and dip the cookies into it.
The Best Part: Enjoy!
It’s time to dig in and enjoy your vegan Oreo cookies. It doesn’t get any better than a homemade treat – not to mention you can customize your recipe however you like. Whether you’re vegan or dairy-free, you are now well prepared to enjoy Oreos in your own way. Enjoy every bite!
