Learning how to bake cookies challenge: From scratch vegan

This month I’ve been trying to learn how to bake cookies, with the emphasis on ‘trying’. I won’t consider this challenge as a success and I’ve marked it as failed on my day zero project account. I’ve tried different kinds and the only ones that worked were the very lazy cookies. You can read about them here.

But I can't really count those. It was a ‘for dummies’ exercise with a ready to use dough from the supermarket. With every challenge, the dough was ok and tasted fine. But then when I bake them they turn out flat/hard and now with the last ones it was just molten cookie dough and chocolate.

With the last one I think the main problem was that there was nothing in the recipe to bind the dough, so I didn’t get anything solid in the end. With the other recipes it was the egg that binds the dough, but I can’t use that in a vegan recipe.

I’ve searched through several vegan recipes and I’ve tried two different recipes in total. I’m not sure if I’m going to share the links to the recipes, as It’s probably me who’s doing something wrong and not these food bloggers. And I’m a bit scared that me performing this recipe badly, will affect their amazing blogs.  I really don’t want to do that. I will share the links, if there are several request for them. I think I might add a disclaimer then like: It’s not them, its me. 😂

But to sum things up, I failed this challenge. I don't think I will be baking cookies in the near future again, one because I keep failing them and two, I think I might have a cookie intoxication by now. Too many cookies.😱

I might try it again someday, if my baking skills will get better, maybe I need to find a cookie baking course.

But I’ll share my journey in photos for the second recipe I tried. I officially consider these the worst cookies in  the world.

The ingredients. The eggs, butter and milk chocolate were replaced by the vegan rice milk, coconut oil and dark chocolate.

Adding the 2 kinds of sugars and the coconut oil.

Mixing everything together.

Adding the rice milk and the vanilla extract.

Adding the flour and mixing it together.

Adding the chocolate and mixing it together.

Somehow my table got messier every week.😁

Scooping the dough on the oven trays.

And then drum rolls. Cookies....or pancakes, well it's something. If it would be burned, it would look like those ink tests to see if you're crazy. Sigh, so embarrassing.😂
