A few days ago, Gad surprised me with a jar of vegan butter cookies from Anastasia Café. They were perfectly crisp, with roasted almond flakes and a buttery taste you’d never guess was dairy-free.
Of course, I couldn’t resist the challenge – I had to try and recreate them at home. Partly for the fun, and partly because, let’s be honest, it’s so much more affordable to bake them yourself.
The result? Spot on in taste, and the texture turned out just as good. For the look, I went for that rustic grandma-style cookie: round, simple, and a little imperfect in the best way.
Enjoy every bite, and let me know how they turn out for you! 💛

Servings cookies
EQUIPMENT
Ingredients
- ¾ cup vegan butter
- ½ cup cane sugar
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Butter Flavor Extract, or butter pastry emulsion optional
- ½1 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon corn starch
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup brown almonds, finely chopped
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 165 degrees Celsius - 325 Fahrenheit
- Line two oven baking sheets with baking paper
- Mix butter, sugar, vanilla extract and vegan butter extract until combined
- Add flour, almond flour, chopped almonds, coconut, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and mix until a smooth dough is formed.
- Form cookies using a cookie scoop about 3 cm in diameter, roll into a ball with your palms, flatten lightly with your fingers, and place on the molds. Be sure to leave a space of about 5 cm or a little more between each cookie so that it has room to spread during baking.
- Bake in the center of the oven, one pan at a time, for about 18 minutes until the cookies are golden brown and set slightly. The cookies will still be soft and may look undercooked - they will crisp up after a few minutes of cooling.
- Leave the cookies in the pan for about half an hour until they cool slightly. Next, remove them from the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool completely for at least an hour.
- Store in an airtight container.
