Ingredients used to make these Press / Shaped Tofu Cookies

**I’ve linked some of these ingredients to amazon.com to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store (usually, the natural & organic food section). They are also affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission as an Amazon Associate if you decide to purchase the items. The price will be the same for you, link or no link 🙂

  • Almond flour – I used blanched almond flour
  • Coconut flour – Coconut flour does not substitute well, and I can’t recommend swapping coconut flour with other ingredients unless you absolutely had to (2 Tbsp coconut flour = ½ cup almond flour). Unfortunately, you probably won’t get the same texture or mouthfeel as the original recipe.
  • Raw Cane Sugar – usually I would recommend that you use coconut sugar, maple sugar or date sugar since they are less processed sugars, but I chose raw cane sugar because I wanted to keep the cookies light-colored. Feel free to use sugar-free options such as monk fruit sweetener or stevia (just be sure to convert according to package instructions).

Update: you can also use honey powder instead of sugar (but the recipe will no longer be vegan)

Honey powder is basically de-hydrated honey that can be used instead of sugar for most recipes, and can be rehydrated with water
  • Silken Tofu– (firm) like this one
  • Olive Oil – Instead of olive oil, you can use coconut oil, or avocado oil here if you’d like.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup mashed silken firm tofu about 100 g
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar of choice*
  • 1/4 cup light olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 Tbsp coconut flour

Instructions
 

  • Mash the tofu using a fork so that it becomes smooth without any big chunks
  • Mix the mashed tofu with the oil and sugar
  • Then add the rest of the ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
  • Chill in the fridge for half an hour, then roll into 1-2 tablespoon sized balls
  • Arrange the cookie balls in a baking sheet at least 1 inch apart
  • Use a mooncake mold press or cookie stamp to press shapes onto the individual cookies.
  • Bake in a preheated oven 350F for 13-15 minutes or until the tops are dry

Notes

*I used raw cane (white) granulated sugar for this because I wanted the color of the cookie to be as light as possible. But you can also use coconut sugar, maple sugar or brown sugar.

      Hi TG, I haven’t tried other substitutes, but you could try using mashed cooked beans such as chickpeas or white beans, which can provide a similar texture and nutrition. I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!
