Vegan-Friendly Girl Scout Cookies

One of the great things about Girl Scout cookies is that all of the Thin Mints are vegan-friendly! But depending on where you live, some of the other varieties may or may not be. It sounds confusing, but because the names vary slightly in different areas, it’s just a matter of knowing which one to buy.

For example, “Peanut Butter Patties” are vegan-friendly in all locations, while “Tagalongs” aren’t. Other vegan options include Trefoils, Caramel deLites (formerly Samoas), Do-si-dos and Lemonades. The key is to look out for ingredients such as dairy and eggs—these will tell you if a certain cookie contains animal products or not.

So don’t worry if you’re looking for some vegan treats from the Girl Scouts—there are plenty of delicious vegan options out there! Remember to check labels when in doubt, so you can make sure that your snack is completely cruelty free.

Girl Scout S’mores

If you’re looking for a vegan Girl Scout cookie, then look no further than the brand new S’mores courtesy of ABC Bakers.

It’ll be available in select markets during the 2017 cookie season – so make sure to look out for it!

Unfortunately, this delicacy won’t satisfy those searching for vegan Thin Mints. The classic, beloved biscuit isn’t classified as vegan due to its creme de menthe flavoring and pigment yellow 6 ingredient – so vegans should steer away from enjoying this favorite!

How To Make Vegan Thin Mints At Home?

How To Make Vegan Thin Mints At Home?

Vegan thin mints are just as delicious as their traditional counterparts, and now you can make them at home! All it takes is a few simple ingredients and a little patience.

First, cream vegan butter with white and brown sugar together until the mixture is smooth. Then add in peppermint extract to give it some sweetness and flavour.

Next, sift all purpose flour and cocoa powder into a separate bowl and mix in baking soda and salt. Gradually add in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture with a spoon until it forms a crumbly dough.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape on wax paper, cut into circles (or any other shape you prefer) with a cookie cutter and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350°F until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before dipping them in melted chocolate. Enjoy your homemade vegan thin mints!

Ingredients

 When it comes to whether or not Thin Mints are vegan, it all depends on the ingredients. The iconic chocolate cookie is made from a combination of vegan butter, white granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and peppermint extract. To ensure purity many bakeries will only use natural flavors for taste making them free from any animal by-products. Additionally many recipes also opt out of dairy ingredients such as condensed milk and cream to make them vegan-friendly as well.

Not all Thin Mints are created equal however – some brands may include non-vegan ingredients like seasame oil, honey or egg whites so make sure to double check the ingredients list before purchasing!

Steps

If you’re looking for a vegan alternative to your favorite chocolate-mint treats, look no further than homemade vegan thin mints! These delectable little cookies are easy (and delicious) to make right in your own kitchen.

To start, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Next, cream together vegan butter and brown and white sugar in a stand mixer until smooth. Then, add peppermint extract and mix until everything is thoroughly combined.

Sift together the flour and cocoa powder in a bowl. Add in the baking soda and salt mix them all together. To the wet ingredients, gradually add the dry ingredients by hand, mixing until crumbly. Then add soy milk or other non-dairy milk 1 Tbsp at a time and mix until you get a thick cookie dough consistency. Depending on the type of vegan butter you’re using, two tablespoons of milk might be enough. When it’s done it should be thick, but easily roll into balls for baking.

Now you’ve got all the steps needed to create delicious vegan thin mints!
