Vegan Sourdough Everything Cookies

everything cookies

Ordinarily I don’t care for the flavor of raw sourdough items. However, the first time I made these cookies it was difficult to make sure there was enough dough for others to enjoy! My friends, Vegan and non-Vegan alike, really seemed to enjoy these cookies.

These cookies whip up in a snap. They’re so versatile that I encourage you to experiment with what you have on hand. Since there is banana in these cookies and only ¼ cup raw or brown sugar in about 2 dozen cookies, these Vegan Sourdough Everything Cookies can even make a decadent, yet fibrous and wholesome, breakfast treat.
If using crystallized ginger as your dried fruit in a batch please keep in mind that those cookies are best consumed just after the cookies have cooled. Crystallized ginger can develop a strange flavor after it has been baked.
