Description
Soft, tender, and bursting with cozy maple flavor, these Vegan Maple Cream Cookies feature spiced maple cookies sandwiched with a rich, smooth maple cream filling—completely dairy-free and perfect for fall or holiday baking.
Ingredients
1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon plant-based milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup vegan butter, softened (for filling)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the vegan butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the plant-based milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Sift in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the maple cream filling by beating the vegan butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
- Once the cookies are cool, spread or pipe the filling onto the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another.

For a spicier twist, add a pinch of nutmeg to the dough.
Roll the edges of the filling in crushed pecans or sprinkles for a festive touch.
