Needs Investigation:
- Trader Joe’s Joe-Joe’s – dark chocolate covered? vanilla cookie and creme? none of the joe-joes are listed on their vegan PDF, but that might be an oversight. they are on the vegetarian PDF (html version here) Also available seasonally are the candy-cane joe-joes. and I think we might have a benefactor that had hoarded us a box from this past winter. *fingers crossed that the waiting wasn’t too unbareable for her* haha!
- Wild Harvest Organics vanilla sandwich. (ingredients aren’t on the web) (contacted)
- Supervalu’s Shopper’s Value
- Giant’s brand Twisto’s (their website only indicates traditional flavors, but you’d never know)
- Wegman’s mint, chocolate with chocolate creme (artificial flavors)
gosh. my stomach is yelling at me just looking at the list.
shout out if you know of a brand that isn’t here. (you can also send a tweet @veganreview)
I’ve been looking for vegan vanilla wafers for years. A lot of simple dessert recipes call for vanilla wafers, but none are vegan. Have seen some other vanilla cookies, but they haven’t been as “cakey” a consistency so weren’t right for the recipe.
A vegan pound cake would be the bomb! That would work in most of the recipes that the vanilla wafers are needed for, things like tiramisu, etc. Pound cake could also then be used with fruit and glaze, and more adventurously with other toppings and sauces. I once did a vegan coconut cake with a sweet curry sauce “frosting” that was out of this world.
Enjoy the cookie hunt!
there’s gonna be a B&W cookie recipe in isa/terry’s cookie book. use the cookie from that recipe and instead of the lemon flavor, use vanilla. that’d be the closest approximation that i can think of.
as for tiramisu, i’m pretty sure i remember seeing vegan ladyfinger recipes out there. hmmm.
cake with sweet curry sauce? whoah! i don’t think i’m ready for that. :-)
Just saw another option in Trader Joe’s that may be vegan. They just came out with some Maple Leaf Cookies that are in big displays in the store. The ingredients appear to be vegan, but there is the mysterious “natural flavors.” In a sandwich cookie you never know what that might be.
Not sure but I think that Keebler Vienna Fingers (natural flavor again) are vegan.
Lorna Doone shortbread cookies are also vegan.
These aren’t sandwich cookies, but hope you can get Uncle Eddies brand of cookies out there. They do several flavors, and I think I lived for several weeks on the peanut butter flavor chocolate chip when I first discovered them!! We live close to LA so can get them while they’re still nice and soft. Mmmmmm… Their coconut chocolate chip is my favorite now. Uncle Eddies actually make the bagged vegan cookies for Trader Joe’s (no, not those flavorless fake Oreos) like their vegan Trail Mix cookies if you’ve seen them.
Also from California is Sun Flour Baking. They’re on the expensive side and taste OK but honestly, for that money I’d buy the ingredients and make more myself.
nice!
we’ll definitely be taste testing other categories of cookies in the future, so this is good info. thanks!
i don’t remember seeing uncle eddies out here, but so-far companies have been cool and sending us stuff for the podcast totally free, so uncle eddies might do that. and good to know about the TJs cookies. i don’t remember seeing the trail mix cookies. are they individually wrapped or are they in like a 1 lb bag or something?
as for maple cookies. whoah! that sounds awesome! thanks!
The TJ’s Vegan Trail Mix cookies are in a 12-oz bag, along with their other bagged cookies. One of my favorite cookies!
Be careful what you list. Some of these have white/refined sugar which is filtered thru ANIMAL BONES. Not vegan. (Organic sugar, evaporated cane sugar, etc is okay)
