Ingredients

  • *for the cookies*
  • ½ cup vegan butter
  • ¼ cup shortening
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 3 ½ tablespoon aquafaba
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups quick cooking oats
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • *for the vanilla creme*
  • 1 cup vegan butter
  • 3 oz vegan cream cheese
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1-2 tablespoon milk as needed

Instructions

  • First, prepare the cookies. Preheat the oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, beat together the vegan butter and shortening until smooth. Add in the brown sugar, and beat until fluffy.
  • Finally, mix in the aquafaba and molasses. Beat together until creamy and combined.
  • Stir in the flour, oats, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and vanilla, and mix until the cookie dough comes together. It will be kind of soft.
  • Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto your prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, until cookies have spread and are a toasty brown color.
  • Set aside to cool completely before assembling.
  • When ready to make the cookie sandwiches, make the frosting.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk, beat together the vegan butter and vegan cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Add in the powdered sugar, a cup at a time, followed by the salt and vanilla. If frosting is too stiff or appears lumpy, add in some nondairy milk until it smoothes out and comes back together.
  • To assemble, scoop 1 tablespoon of frosting in the center of a cookie, and top with a second cookie. Repeat with all. I was able to make 13 sandwiches.
  • Serve immediately, or store at room temperature in an airtight container.
