Vegan Cookies Invade your Cookie Jar Book Review


Vegan Cookies Invade your Cookie Jar Book Review

About the Book: Don’t run. Don’t hide. Vegan cookies are going to invade your cookie jar, one delicious bite at a time. Join award-winning bakers Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero (authors of the hit cookbook Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World) as they continue their world-domination mission—with dairy- and egg-free batches of everyone’s favorite treats. Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar includes more than 100 irresistible recipes for cookies, bars, biscotti, brownies, and more. Discover festive desserts that are sure to impress family and friends at any occasion, from birthdays to bake sales. Or simply tempt yourself with:


  •  Magical Coconut Cookie Bars




  • Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Brownies




  • Peanut Butter Crisscrosses




  • NYC Black & Whites




  • Key Lime Shortbread Rounds




  • Call Me Blondies




  • Macadamia Lace CookiesThroughout the book, Isa and Terry share their best mixing, baking, and decorating techniques and tackle age-old cookie conundrums. Learn the secrets of vegan-izing name-brand favorites (Nutter Betters, anyone?), whipping up gluten-free batches, and even making cookies you can eat for breakfast. When vegan cookies invade your cookie jar, it’s yummy to give in!




  • Our Take: Isa Chandra Moskowitz is at it again!  She wrote the Veganomicon and Vegan Brunch....and now we get Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar!   She joins co-author Terry Hope Romero to bring us some great new Vegan cookie recipes.

    I know that everyone loves cookies.  Its just a fact.  You LOVE COOKIES!  You know that you do.  Only, we all want to watch our weight, at least to some degree.  Enter the Vegan cookie.  Its an amazing little invention that generally lowers the fat content drastically.  Now, if you haven't had proper Vegan cooking, maybe you don't dig it.  These recipes are the real deal.  My wife and I selected several of them to try out and we whipped up some delicious cookies. 

    The recipes in the book are very easily laid out and not difficult to follow.  Most of the recipes even include a "morsels" tidbit that gives you an extra tip, such as how to make the recipe even more healthy for you.  This is a great little book to add to your recipes.  Our taste buds, and our guts, highly recommend it!

    Where to Buy: Amazon.com or the Da Capo Website
