Sooooo good! I didn’t have flax seeds so I used 1/4 silken tofu with a teaspoon of corn starch so they weren’t too fluffy. They turned out perfect! I also didn’t have the mint pieces so I just pressed down and put a few chocolate chips in the center. I’m going to be sure I use the UFO’s next time I make these, which will be very soon.

The flax seeds here are acting as a binder, and add moisture to the batter. I haven’t tried using silken tofu in this recipe, but I imagine blending that up or using an equivalent amount of unsweetened applesauce may work. (I would probably skip the cornstarch.) If you try it, let me know how it turns out!

Is there anything I can use to replace the flax seeds? Would 1/4c silken tofu with a tsp of cornstarch do the trick?

[...] for them, since the kisses are made with milk. I I haven’t made them yet, but they look delicious. I’m surprised how many recipes still taste amazing when they’re made to be vegan [...]

I just wanted to follow up and let you know how it went at the dessert party. Everyone RAVED about your cookies!! More than a few people sought me out just to say how much they loved them. This will be made many times over.

Btw, I was able to find the mint UFO’s at my TJ’s. Thanks for these great cookies!

Hi Mani!

1. Nope, no flattening necessary. But if you’re doing the melted chocolate method, make sure you press down the centers right after baking, so there’s a place to pour the chocolate.

2. Yep, semi-sweetened chocolate chips would be fine.

OMG!! They look soooo good. I’m definitely making these next week for a dessert party I’m attending. Two questions, I’m sorry if they may be silly but I’m not a very experienced baker.

1. Did you flatten the dough balls after placing them on the baking sheet or leave them round and they flatten out while baking?

2. If I have to use the melted chocolate w/mint extract could I just use semi-sweetened chocolate chips for that?

Thanks in advance!
