Where can you buy a vegan gluten free cookie mix?
You can buy a vegan gluten free cookie mix online directly from the brands, on marketplaces like Amazon and Walmart, and in some grocery and natural food stores. Buying direct usually gives you the freshest stock and the full flavor range, while marketplaces are convenient if you already shop there. Our banana cinnamon sugar cookie mix is available on our site and on major marketplaces.
Which gluten free cookie mix is dairy free?
Most vegan cookie mixes are also dairy free, since they contain no milk or butter. gfJules, Chelsea Approved, and Coconut Whisk are all dairy free. Our cookie mix is dairy free too, and because chickpea and fava bean flours bind the dough, it also needs no eggs. To keep the finished cookies dairy free, use a plant based liquid when you mix the dough. That makes it a good fit whether you avoid dairy for an allergy, for lactose intolerance, or as part of a vegan diet.
How do you make cookies from a gluten free cookie mix?
To make the cookies, add the liquid the pack calls for, stir into a dough, roll into balls, and bake. Here is the method.
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Add the liquid your pack calls for and stir until the mix comes together into a dough.
3. Roll the dough into balls and place them on the sheet. For cinnamon sugar cookies, roll each ball in cinnamon sugar first.
4. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden.
5. Let the cookies cool on the sheet before moving them, since gluten free cookies firm up as they cool.
One bag makes about 10 to 12 cookies. For a full plant based walkthrough, see our vegan gluten free cookies recipe. New to baking with mixes? Start with our guide to gluten free baking mixes for beginners.
What can you make with a vegan gluten free cookie mix?
One mix is a base for more than one kind of cookie. A few ways to use it:
• Cinnamon sugar cookies. Roll the dough balls in cinnamon sugar before baking. See our gluten free sugar cookie mix page for this style.
• Soft and chewy cookies. Bake a minute or two less for a softer center. Our soft and chewy gluten free cookies recipe walks through it.
• Snickerdoodle style. The cinnamon and cinnamon sugar coating make these close to a gluten free snickerdoodle.
• Banana cookies. The real banana base already leans this way. See our gluten free banana cookies.
• Cookie bars. Press the dough into a small lined pan and bake a few minutes longer for soft bars.
