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
