Vegan Giant Cookie

Jump to Recipe

A vegan giant cookie is a delicious and fun treat, perfect for any occasion. Whether you are celebrating a birthday and want something a little different from the usual cake, or you are simply in the mood for a show stopping dessert, this giant cookie is sure to impress. It’s chewy on the inside and slightly crispy on the edges. It is packed with all the indulgence of a classic cookie, without any animal products.

Need something quick and easy to wow your guests? A giant cookie is the perfect centerpiece for a small gathering, serving up to eight people with generous slices. It’s also a great option for special occasions like anniversaries, family movie nights, or even as a homemade gift for a loved one. Plus, you can get creative with the decoration.

I have included instructions on how to decorate the cookie with a frosted edge. You can also write a message on the cookie with frosting and a small round piping tip. If you don’t fancy giving writing with a piping bag a go you can use a stamp and fondant icing. You can buy a stamp online for pretty much any occasion. Just roll out your fondant to about 2mm thick, stamp it and use a round cutter to cut it out. You can use a small blob of buttercream to stick the fondant onto the middle of the cookie.

Not only is this cookie delicious, but it’s also simple to make with easy to find plant based ingredients. No need for eggs or dairy. Just a few pantry staples come together to create a rich, satisfying dessert that everyone will love, whether they follow a vegan diet or not.

So, if you’re looking for a fun, crowd pleasing alternative to cake, why not try baking a vegan giant cookie? It is a guaranteed hit and a delightful way to satisfy your sweet tooth!

• 80g Caster Sugar

• 100g Self Raising Flour

• 150g Plain Flour

• Pinch of Salt

• For the icing

• 200g Icing Sugar

• 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract

• Food Colouring of your choice

Directions

• For the cookie
• Preheat the oven to 180ºc/350ºf fan and grease and line an 8 inch round cake tin
• Make the flax egg by combining 2 tbsp ground flax seed with 6 tbsp water and set aside. 
• Beat together the baking block, vanilla extract and sugars until just combined. There should still be nuggets of the baking block so don't over mix.
• Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Mix in the two flours, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt.
• Add in the flax egg and mix just until a dough forms. 
• Press the dough into the prepared tin. Make sure to press it into the edges.
• Bake for 25-50 minutes until the top is browned. Allow to cool before removing from the tin.
• For the icing
• Beat the vegan butter and vanilla with a hand or stand mixer until smooth. Sift in the icing sugar and fold in. If you are colouring the icing add a small amount of colour at a time until you reach the desired colour.
• Use a piping bag with a large open star piping tip to pipe icing all around the edge of the cookie. Use a small round piping tip for the writing. Alternatively you can use fondant icing and a stamp for the message. Use a small amount of icing to stick the fondant to the cookie.
