If you are one of those people who are used to sweet treats with high sugar levels, then you need to try vegan orange cookies. Though to some extend, sugary treats satiate your sugar cravings; the truth is vegan baking is healthier.

Why Are Vegan Cookies Better?

Vegan cookies do not contain any animal, dairy, and high-fat content. This makes them way better if done right as compared to conventional cookies.

Though the recipe may contain sugar, it’s normally from natural sweeteners and are good for your health.

Also, the fact that the cookies use Margarine instead of butter makes it a great pick for those looking forward to losing some pounds.

It’s also an excellent pick for those who are allergic to dairy products and eggs.

Don’t be too harsh on yourself; whether vegan or not, you can still enjoy vegan baked treats.
