Oreo Birthday Cake Cookies

You Would Never Know These Are Vegan!

I have seen these Oreo sprinkle cookies countless times online from Crumbl Cookies and different remakes. I have always wanted to try them and finally decided to make a copy-cat vegan version.

If you have never seen these cookies, it is a dark colored cookie that’s supposed to look like the cookie part of an Oreo, with vanilla frosting, sprinkles, and chunks of cookie dough on top. I think these copy-cat ones turned out pretty similar to the original and taste so delicious.

The recipe comes together in 5 minutes and only takes 7 minutes to bake. I love this recipe because it’s a small batch recipe and you can cure your cookie craving without having to make a whole batch. This also only requires one bowl so it’s a super easy clean up.

Vegan butter: any vegan butter will work. Be sure it is MELTED. Oil should also work; however, the butter will taste better in my opinion. If you aren’t dairy-free/vegan traditional butter should also work.

Sugar: any granulated sugar will work (brown, white, coconut, etc.) Be SURE it is granulated and not a liquid sweetener.

Jet black cocoa powder: this type of cocoa powder is a super dark colored one and almost gives off the taste of an Oreo. You can order this off Amazon. If you don’t have this type of cocoa powder a normal one will work also and still taste just as good.

Chocolate chips: any chocolate chips of your preference will work. You can also chop a chocolate bar and mix different chocolates.

Frosting: I used store-bought vanilla frosting. You can use homemade or use whatever frosting you want. There are countless vegan frosting recipes online and many store-bought ones are vegan.

Sprinkles: any sprinkles will work.

Ingredients:

• Vegan butter

• Applesauce

  The dough bites are optional. If you want them, just make a little extra of the dough from the original recipe and omit the baking powder and chocolate chips.

4.    Once melted, add in the applesauce and sugar.

5.    Stir well to combine.

6.    Add in the baking powder, almond flour, and jet-black cocoa powder.

7.    Stir until a dough is formed.

8.    Fold in the chocolate chips.

9.    Scoop the dough onto the tray and press flat.

10. Bake for 7 minutes.

11. Once cooled, add your frosting, sprinkles, and dough bites.

Store these in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They should last up to 5 days.
