⭐ Silken Tofu (blended) (Best Vegan Option)
1:1 (replace Greek yogurt with equal amount of blended silken tofu) Quick tip: Silken tofu provides moisture and protein but lacks acidity, resulting in milder flavor and slightly different texture.
Silken tofu is a plant-based alternative that offers moisture and protein to the dough, helping with structure and chewiness. However, it is neutral in flavor and lacks the acidity that Greek yogurt provides, which can affect leavening and flavor complexity.
To compensate, add a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar per cup of tofu to introduce acidity. Blend tofu until very smooth to avoid graininess in the dough.
Cookies will be softer and less tangy, with a slightly different mouthfeel, but this is a good vegan and dairy-free option.
