Vegan cookie recipes?

[edible_hat]

We want to make some cookies for my brother's partner, the problem is she's a vegan and all the recipes we know either call for milk, eggs and/or butter or taste like freshly baked cardboard.

So: does anybody have any decent vegan cookie recipes?

Non personally used, but I typically do find good recipes on about.com and I like that there are ratings by people who have used them http://vegetarian.about.com/od/vegan...ie_Recipes.htm

Check out Vegan with a Vengeance from the library. All of her cookies are actual dessert, not health food and taste as good as the nonvegan kinds. Just make sure to grab white sugar that's not processed with bone char.

Not all vegans are that strict. If she is, organic cane sugar is fine. Some recipes like butter cookies or shortbread don't use eggs. Just substitute Earth Balance margarine for the butter; it's vegan. If you go to www.vegetarian times.com , you can search their recipes. They specify which are vegan. One I have tried is The Heart-healthiest Chocolate Chip Cookies In the World.

Is right!

All the ones I make are vegan - quite a few vegan colleagues. Can use maple syrup or golden syrup for binding the ingredients, or as for the ones I did for today, concentrated apple juice. Not the stuff with preservatives and flavourings in, but proper concentrated apple juice - juice from apples concentrated down. Tastes gorgeous. The apple and cinnamon ones are my personal favourites of the ones I've created so far.

I made some with blueberries - fresh ones. Mashed half the blueberries to get the fluid to bind, and the rest in whole (they burst during cooking anyway). Works well, though doesn't bind as well as it could.

Company called Orgran does an egg replacer, and I think Barkat does as well. Some of your more devout vegetarian/wholefood shops may sell things like this, but it's a very niche market/product.

for milk use soy, rice or almond milk-instead of butter use margarine and for egg use this

Here's a good vegan blog I found a while back:

I've made her donuts before:

And they turned out very good! Admittedly I'm not a vegan, so I just used regular butter/milk/eggs... (I was looking for a baked donut recipe, and that was the best-sounding one I found) so I'm not sure where you'd get butter or egg replacers.
