These classic Vegan Brandy Snaps are a popular dessert in many English-speaking countries. Lacy, crunchy, and filled with whipped cream, these cookies are perfect for Christmas baking!
These gorgeous and sweet Brandy Snaps are a popular treat in many English-speaking countries, and with a few swaps, I've made them completely vegan! While the name may include "brandy," they are actually alcohol-free.
Cream-filled and crisp, they are perfect for a holiday cookie tray, or just whenever you want something sweet. These Vegan Brandy Snaps are perfect plain, but even more delicious when you fill them with vegan whipped cream. Craving a little brandy in your Brandy Snaps for an adults-only cookie? Add a little brandy to your whipped cream!
🥘 Ingredients
One of the things I love about this recipe is that you probably already have these ingredients!
- coconut sugar
- unsalted vegan butter
- molasses
- maple syrup
- all-purpose flour
- powdered ginger
- lemon or lime juice
🔪 Instructions
1. Mix and simmer
Combine the vegan butter, sugar, molasses, and maple syrup and bring to a simmer. Keep stirring until the sugar dissolves.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the flour, ginger, and lime juice.
3. Bake
Place a heaping teaspoon of mixture on your baking sheet, making 4 piles. Bake for 10 minutes.
4. Roll into tubes
Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and let the Brandy Snaps cool for just a minute. You'll need to work fast after they have cooled a little, since the cooler they get, the harder they will be to shape.
Using a handle of a round wooden spoon or a can opener, lift each tube off the parchment paper (you can use a fish or crepe spatula for that) and roll it around the handle seam side down. Let them cool for a minute, then gently slide the tube off the handle.
5. Cool and fill
Once Brandy Snaps are cool, you can fill them with whipped and sweetened coconut cream or any other filling you’d like!
💭 Top tip
If the Brandy Snaps fall apart during the shaping process, pop them in the oven for another minute. This will soften them making them easier to shape into a tube.

I would really like to make this for my thanksgiving desert this year, but my parents are gluten free. Do you have any recommendations for replacing the flour with a gluten free flour?

Sorry, I haven't tried this with GF flour. If you give it a try, please let me know how it turns out.
