If you’re craving cheesecake but want something fast that can satisfy that craving, these salted caramel cheesecake cookies are perfect! Instead of waiting hours for a cheesecake to set in the fridge, you can whip these together in just a few minutes.

The cookies themselves are also totally vegan which is awesome! But the frosting on top does contain dairy. However, you can use a vegan cream cheese instead as a substitute.

Breakdown of the Ingredients

Cookies

• All purpose Flour
• Raw or Granulated Cane Sugar
  • NOTE: granulated sugar will give a much smoother texture but raw sugar is better if you want a little bit more of a crunch to the texture of your cookies)
• Vegan Butter
  • NOTE: I use salted butter so I’m not separately adding butter and salt. But if you’re using unsalted butter, then add about 3/4tsp salt as well.
• Vanilla Extract
• Soy Vanilla Milk
• Vinegar
• Baking Powder
• Baking Soda

Frosting

• Powdered Sugar
• Cream Cheese
• Vanilla Extract
• Vegan Butter
• Caramel Sauce (to drizzle on top!)
• Flaky Sea Salt (for garnish)

Breakdown of the Process

• The process for making these cookies is so simple!
• First, use your Hamilton Professional Hand Mixer with the Easy Clean Beaters to whip together your butter and sugar.
• Then, add in your vanilla extract, vinegar, and soy milk, and whip everything together again.
• Finally, add in your all purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda, to the mixture, and mix one last time.
• Bake for about 12 minutes at 375.
• For the frosting, just blend all of the ingredients together well and add a thick layer on top of your cookies along with caramel sauce and flaky salt.
