Win FREE Vegan Meringue Cookies!
Traditional meringue cookies are usually made from little more than egg whites and sugar. A recipe that has eggs as one of its only two ingredients might seem hard—OK, impossible—to veganize, but Angel Foods has released a new cookie mix that is making it a whole lot easier.
You may remember the name Angel Foods from a Veg Cooking Blog contest a while back to give away its vegan marshmallow kit. Well, Angel Foods has now released a vegan meringue cookie kit that requires just water, sugar, a mixer, and a good dose of patience to make those airy and light French cookies you might be missing.
Now is your chance to win one of these kits and test it out for me! We’ll be giving away one vegan meringue cookie kit on The VegCooking Blog and one kit on PETA Living. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment and tell us about your favorite cookie. Be creative, and please make sure that your comments are vegan-friendly!
And now for the legal stuff: The contest ends on October 17, and winners will be selected and notified by October 24. You should also be sure to read the contest terms and conditions and PETA’s privacy policy before you comment—you’re acknowledging that you have read and agree to both by leaving a comment.

My favorite cookie is a grea old fashioned oatmeal cookie. Applesauce can be used instead of eggs. Makes me feel great and brings back fabulous memories as does a good old fashioned Joe Frogger. An old New England molasses cookie.
September 27th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
I like coconut cookies. They are so yummy.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
rasian and coconut
September 27th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Peanut butter cookies are my favorite.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
My hands down favorite cookies are peanut butter cookies! Yum! Either that or molasses, anything that’s nice and chewy with a sweet punch of flavor!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
I have been vegan for over 12 yrs. My fave cookie is the one in my hand at the time…
September 27th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Chocolate chip
September 27th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
My favourite cookies are carrot cookies! mixed with apple sauce and spice. Very vegan friendly…
September 27th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
I love making vegan chocolate chip cookies. I use a recipe that I made by combining Vegan Planet’s recipe and The Joy of Vegan Baking. At the store, I always like Alternative Baking Company’s espresso chip cookies too!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
I am a new vegan. So far my favorite cookie has been the good old chocolate chip. I use an egg replacer to replace the eggs in the recipe.

Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
September 27th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
oatmeal walnut-with cranberries- yummy
September 27th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
This is a little weird but I love to take 2 M&M cookies and spread them with peanut butter, making a PB and M&M sandwich. Don’t knock it until you try it. Ohhhhhh so good! Thanks for the great contest!
September 27th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
We make the regular chocolate chip cookies and substitute flax seeds and water a replacement for the eggs. This way we can even eat the raw cookie dough.
September 28th, 2008 at 1:08 am
My favorite cookie is plain and simple. Just chocolate chip cookies; with big chucks in them. Made all ready to bake. I love it they are still fresh from the oven, soft and goowy. If i find another favorite flavor before the contest is over I’ll let you know.
September 28th, 2008 at 1:27 am
peanut butter with lots of peanut bits in them
September 28th, 2008 at 6:51 am
I’m not the best at baking, so I usually get Uncle Eddie’s Vegan Cookies (the Peanut Butter are FAB!) from my local vegan friendly store. I’d love to win and try my hand at these yummy sounding cookies. Plus, I’m sure my kids would love them! Thanks!
September 28th, 2008 at 7:53 am
I have never tried a vegan recipe and this would be a wonderful opportunity. I do make pumpkin cookies and I substitue oils for applesauce. I add nuts and raisins.
September 28th, 2008 at 10:16 am
My favourite (imaginary) cookies would have to be for sweet:
made from wholemeal flour, be infused with rich hazelnuts and decorated with scrumptious oats & brought dancing to life in my mouth with strawberry jam (or jello i think it’s called in the US but i’m not sure)
For Savory:
Again using wholemeal flour entwined with aromatic spices such as cayenne pepper & oregano then for a tantalizing twist topped off with cashew nuts.
and for either savory or sweet, they must be warm straight from the oven:)
September 28th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
i want to win
September 28th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
I love peanut butter cookies. You can make them with just peanut butter, flour, and a sweetener so they’re simple but delish.
September 28th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Peanut butter kisses
September 28th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Sugar cookies with sprinkles
September 28th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
I love homemade lemon cookies!
September 29th, 2008 at 7:43 am
yum
September 29th, 2008 at 7:53 am
My favorite cookie is Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. The great thing about these cookies is that you can put any add in you want. I’ve even made them vegan (I’m vegetarian) and used apricots and pecans.
We added this giveaway to our “Free Stuff” page at http://www.ForMyKidsOnline.com/free_stuff.htm
September 29th, 2008 at 10:30 am
I love to bake. I think my favorite cookie to make for my family are oatmeal jam dots. I easily veganized our family recipe and make this cookie all the time. People always act so surprised when they try them, love them and then learn that the cookie is vegan
September 29th, 2008 at 10:52 am
My favorite cookies are any that my vegan sister makes for me. A standout among these is the peanut butter drop cookie- rolled in sugar with a little vegan chocolate on top. Yum! and yay! for vegan relatives.
September 29th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Alternative Baking Company’s Espresso Chip Cookies are ace!
September 29th, 2008 at 11:36 am
I have trouble making cookies that don’t look and taste like cardboard - for me it’s store-bought oatmeal. Around here I have to go to a health food store to get them.
September 29th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Peanut Butter cookies are hands-down my favorite cookie… especially when they are soft, warm, and bit chewy. YUM!
Like many others have said… you can use applesauce to replace the eggs in the mix… I’ve also found that you can use soaked dates that you’ve processed up either in the blender or the food processor. The soaked dates give my cookies the moisture, sweetness, and chewiness that I crave. Also the added benefit is that I usually can cut down on the sugar a bit because the dates are so naturally sweet. Try it.
September 29th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Well my favorite cookies would have to be anything homemade. My sister and I recently made vegan sugar cookies with chocalte frosting. mmm so good!! I love when they first come out of the oven, they are so warm and soft. The best part it no animal was harmed in the process of baking!! I love that aspect the best!! Besides these sugar cookies are much more healthy and enjoyable than the original.
September 29th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Hmmm, this is a tough one. There are so many great ones out there!! I really like Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Macadamia cookies. Yummy!! I would be very interested in trying a cookie with pumpkin in it, too! I am addicted to pumpkin tastes and smells!!
September 29th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
I just became vegan so i never had these cookies but made my own and vegan cookies are hot
September 29th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Oh man, PB cookies are the best.
September 29th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
My daughter is 16 and has been a vegan for a little over a year. I welcome recipe ideas for her, its been tough, thank you!!
She has made her own homemade cupcakes and pancakes
September 29th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
pumpkin, definitely
September 29th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
my favorite cookies would have to be peanut butter sugar cookies or mayb spider cookies i dont know thats a tuff one
September 29th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Its a tie! I love vegan peanut butter cookies and vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookies equally. I can’t pick one of those over the other…maybe the vegan meringue cookies could be my new favorite and break the tie!
September 29th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
My favorite cookies are Oreos, I lack any culinary skill to make my own cookies.
September 29th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
I love molassas cookies - did I spell that right? I don’t know, I just eat them.
September 29th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Oatmeal raisin
September 29th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
I love oatmeal raisin cookies!
September 29th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
I have this amazing recipe for raspberry chocolate vegan cookies…quite delicious. You can substitute almost any fruit jam for the raspberry too!
September 29th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
My favorite cookie is mint chocolate chip cookie… They are refreshing and delicious. :).
September 30th, 2008 at 12:11 am
This kit looks increidble - I am excited about all of Angel Food’s D.I.Y, Veganize-the-Impossible kits (this and those marshmallows).
My favorite cookies are biscotti - I relish dunking fresh biscotti into my morning coffee!
September 30th, 2008 at 3:28 am
Oatmeal chocolate chip are my all time fave!
September 30th, 2008 at 11:14 am
I Like Chips Ahoy [Chunky Choclate Chips]. Its completely vegeterian/vegan and the chunks of choclates scattered in the crunchy cookie makes it awesome.
September 30th, 2008 at 11:29 am
I make lemon cookies for me and my vegan guy all the time, they usually turn out like crumbs but taste incredible. They definatly put a smile on his face (:

September 30th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
I know it sounds gross but I take two chocolate chip or M&M cookies, spread them with peanut butter, and make a sandwich out of them. sooooo yummy! Thanks for the great contest!
September 30th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
I’d love to try these marshmallows stuffed into some great sugar cookies…..boring? I think not!!
September 30th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Any homemade cookie is yummy. Just substitute vegetabel shortening for lard or butter.
October 1st, 2008 at 1:41 am
I love chocolate chip and banana cookies, but the other day I was snooping through my baby-sitters fridge and found a vegan oatmeal cookie with an apple and cinnamon paste filling. It was just delicious, it is by-far the best cookie i have ever had
October 1st, 2008 at 8:51 am
I made up a vegan persimmon cookie many years ago when I was nine years old. It is a tasty, not-too-sweet, unique cookie that has been loved by vegans and non-vegans alike ever since I created it almost twenty years ago. I always make my own foods and never rely on packaged ones, but if there is a responsible company out there that makes an interesting mix, I would be more than willing to give it a try!
October 1st, 2008 at 11:23 am
I love oatmeal raisin cookies!
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:14 am
I love the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies they sell every fall down at my QFC. I was down there one day and thought they’d have milk or something in them but nope. totally vegan friendly XD
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:30 am
Coconut macaroons are my favorite because I can eat them without worrying about cholesterol.
October 2nd, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Although they can’t really be called cookies because I’m terrible at baking, my favorite cookies are carob chip peanut butter cookies I make whenever I get a chance. They never come out the same way twice; they’ve been so soft I’ve had to eat them with a spoon, so hard I’ve had to soak them with water to avoid a chipped tooth, and everything in between. But each time I somehow manage to mess them up, they are awesome anyway.
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:44 am
My fav cookies are the common ones,especially those that could be made healthy vegan verison, for instance oatmeal raisin cookies or oatmeal chocolate cookies.
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:50 am
I love making cookies- especially cutouts and pumpkin cookies. The pumpkin cookies don’t need eggs or anything to begin with, as they’re made primarily of pumpkin, and for the cutouts i just substitute flaxseed meal and water for the eggs and Earth Balance buttery spread for the butter. Both are delicious, and i’ve never known anyone who didn’t like them, even amongst my non-vegan friends.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Sugar-free chocolate rum cookies are the best. Try it and love it.
October 4th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
My favorite cookies are my grandma’s peanut butter cookies. She presses the cookies with a glass that has been in the family for many generations. Yummy!!
October 6th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
I love oatmeal, but not raisins. I like to use apriots ordried cranberries. yum.
October 7th, 2008 at 4:08 am

October 7th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
The most delicious cookies in the whole wide world are big, thick, chocolate-chunk, peanut butter espresso cookies… yuummmmm… This vegany goodness just melts right in your mouth and makes you happy to be alive! My cholesterol is going up just thinking about it… They are SO good! I love cookies!
October 7th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
I love Alternative Baking Company’s Vegan Choco Chip cookies. They are so good. Nice with some silk.
October 9th, 2008 at 5:43 pm

October 9th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Peanut butter cookies!
October 9th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Normally, I’m all about chocolate. Oreos are great, chocolate covered even more so. During the winter holidays (there are so many I’ve lost track with which one(s) I celebrate), I used to make meringue cookies with chocolate chips in them…melt in your mouth yummy decadence!
October 9th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
small cookies that have mini chocolate chips and crushed coffee beans are great with a latte made with silk.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
I love a large cookie with everything in it from chocolate chips to raisins to coconut. Yum…..
October 9th, 2008 at 8:44 pm

I love the chocolate chip cookie recipe from the ‘Joy of Vegan Baking’ book.
October 9th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
I am fairly new to the vegan world and so far have only bought pre-packaged cookies, but so far I have like Nana’s Coconut Chip.
October 9th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
My favorite cookie has and always will be homemade peanut butter cookies. I veganified the old Betty Crocker recipe(best PB cookies EVER) to perfection. They taste even better than the original. For full enjoyability they must be eaten directly out of the oven and only made with organic fresh, no nothing added peanut butter.
It’s like the epitome of deliciousness.
October 10th, 2008 at 12:42 am
Peanut Butter Bombs from Hannah Kaminsky’s book “My Sweet Vegan”. I read an PETA interview with her after she had published her book at the age of 18 and knew I had to posses it to try the Green Tea Tiramisu and Root Bear Float Cupcakes. Amazing! But I have an even greater weakness for peanut butter…
October 10th, 2008 at 5:42 am
My favourite cookie is ‘Nanas’ choc chip cookies, their free of almost everything, I don’t feel one ounce of guilt when eating them! lol The lady behind the checkout knows extactly what I am going to buy every time!
=]
October 10th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Until recently my favourite cookies were non-existant - I could not find a cookie that was natural, and did not use egg replacer, or other manufactured vegan foods.
Recently, I made PPK’s Pumpkin Oatmeal cookies, and they reminded me of being a kid during Thanksgiving - what an incredible pumpkin cookie for those of us who miss pumpkin pie, and all the warm things the fall has to offer!
I made two batches, and brought one to work, to share with my non-vegan co-workers, who were skeptical of my vegan lifestyle, and these cookies i raved about. They LOVED them, and four out of five asked me for the recipe. A step in the right direction!!
October 10th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Home-made chocolate chip cookies that I make with my friends!!!
October 10th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
I love good ol’ chocolate chip cookies!

Crispy oatmeal cookies with peanut butter in them. Please enter me, thank you
October 12th, 2008 at 2:18 am
The kitchen sink cookies rock! Carrot, pumpkin, banana, zuccini, walnuts/pecans/macadamias/pistachios/pumpkin seeds, rasins, cranberries, applesauce… need I say more? They’re never the same ’cause you put in whatever is handy! Ooooo, time to get the oatmeal…
October 12th, 2008 at 5:09 am
I so love Oatmeal Cookies! Super yum!
October 12th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Organic peanut butter cookies! MMM!!
October 12th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
No bake cookies with coconut, peanuts, and chocolate are my favorite!
October 13th, 2008 at 7:19 am
I don’t eat cookies that often, I don’t really get the chance….my favorite cookies may not be as exciting as some of those above…however my favorite cookies have always been the shortbread cookies my mom always used to make with just home made icing on them made with icing suger and water. She used to make them bite sized with a little dollap of icing on the top, they are always best chilled in the fride.
They will always be my favorite as they remind me of my mother and her love for us kids!
October 13th, 2008 at 7:20 am
PS…. I am quite new to the vegan lifestyle….I had never heard of vegan cookies..so I am quite excited to try some of these ideas!
October 13th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Nothing better then a vegan chocolate chip cookie…chewy yet crunchy. Possibly better than the “real” thing!
October 14th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Dear Peta,
My favorite cookies are the mushy,chewy, and soft macadamian cookies. I also like chocolate chip cookies when they are melty and gooey inside. Cookies are a good way to spend time with your friends and family. You eat,enjoy,talk and just have fun! Cookies are delicious and some are even healthy. No one can imagine that! Cookies are the best snack you can take a great bite out of. Hope I win! Thanks!
From, Stephanie
October 14th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
I love old fashioned ginger snaps, and egg replacer (potato starch) works great as a substitute in the recipes for these crispy cookies.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
I love all the cookies in the world, no preferencies!!!
Vegan meringue cookies they sound yummy, I would love to try them!

I found a great vegan dark-chocolate-chip oatmeal cookie recipe on the Web years ago, it’s always stayed our favorite.
October 16th, 2008 at 7:22 am
I love,love love the smell of chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven,then when they come out of the oven freshly baked and the whole house smells of cookie and they’re still warm and soft is the best time to eat them with my family with a ice cold cup of milk.Yummmy.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Anything with oatmeal and raisins.

October 17th, 2008 at 5:51 am
I love oatmeal raisin cookies but I’m new to the vegan lifestyle so I’m still trying to figure out how to make them. Right now I go to a bakery nearby where they sell vegan items. I found oatmeal raisin cookies, chocolate chip cookies and carrot cake there that were all vegan. Yum!
October 17th, 2008 at 11:30 am
I love snickerdoodles and especially loved the name as a child.

I got really bad cramps under my ribs after eating the ‘Alternative Baking Cookie’ (flavor: espresso choc. chip)? Has anyone had any similar symptoms happen from eating these?
July 30th, 2009 at 12:21 am
I couldn’t let go of meringue cookies when i turned vegan. Even though i felt guilty and horrible after eating those little chick embryos, my stomach couldn’t resist. Now i am thrilled of eating meringue cookies once again!
Proud vegan family of five. We are vegan because we are the biggest lovers.
October 25th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
My favorite cookie eh? It is a tad bit difficult to label one type of cookie as my favorite, but I’ll give it a go. Let me see… Pumpkin Oatmeal cookies with cranberries and walnuts. That seems about right. Woo! Autumn enthusiasm! Fun stuff guys.
November 11th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
I know it’s past the time, but my favorite cookie is a cowboy cookie. I get it at a cute little delicatessan called Flying Elephants. It has all the parts of a chocolate chip cookie but it has some oatmeal-like substance in it which makes it original and fantastic. My birthday is October 24th! I’ll be fifteen
