There’s nothing like baking a batch of cookies.

As fun as it is to bake cookies from scratch (and as amazing as it makes our houses smell) sometimes it’s tempting to take the easy way out. On those nights when you’re feeling a bit too lazy to put your baking hat on, it’s nice to go from relaxing to chowing down on cookies in minimal time. That’s where store-bought cookies come in handy. And the good thing is, even if you’re looking to avoid dairy and eggs, there are tons of vegan cookies on the market! From classic chocolate chip to seasonal pumpkin and everything in between, you’re bound to find a cookie that you’ll like. And the best part is, you don’t even have to leave your couch – many of these cookies are available online! Here are 15 we think you should check out.

  1. Nana’s Wheat Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Finding a guilt-free chocolate chip cookie is pretty much a dessert lover’s dream, and according to reviews, it seems like Nana’s Wheat-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies come pretty close! They are made primarily from organic oat flour and barley flour and in addition to being wheat-free and gluten-free, these cookies do not have any hydrogenated oils, cholesterol, GMOs, or refined sugars. Instead, Nana’s uses fruit juice to give their product a sweet taste, as well as vegan chocolate chips. Reviewers are reporting that these cookies are “extremely” soft, very moist, and a great option for those with dietary restrictions and preferences. Just beware, as one Amazon reviewer points out, these cookies are very large, and the package actually counts the cookie as two servings, for a total of 420 calories. You can get a pack of 12 for about $24.


  2. Lucy’s Oatmeal Cookies

    Want oatmeal raisin cookies without the raisins? If so, consider checking out Lucy’s Oatmeal Cookies.

Lucy’s describes them as crispy with a hint of salt. Reviewers are saying that these cookies are very tasty, are very healthy, especially for a gluten-free cookie (apparently, most gluten-free sweets are high in fat and calories), and are good for people with multiple allergens. You can get eight boxes (15 cookies per box) for about $25.


  3. Wholesome Chow Lemon Cookies

    If you like lemony, refreshing desserts, consider checking out Wholesome Chow Lemon Cookies. These cookies, along with the rest of the Wholesome Chow line, is organic, gluten-free, and non-GMO.

  4. Jovial Crispy Cocoa Einkorn Cookies

    Jovial Crispy Cocoa Einkorn Cookies aren’t your typical cookies. While most baked goods are made with wheat flours, these are actually made with an einkorn flour, an ancient grain flour that, as one reviewer points out, has never been hybridized. These also contain organic cane sugar, organic palm fruit oil, organic rice syrup, and organic cocoa. Reviewers are saying that these cookies have a nice crispy texture, are definitely healthier than most others on the market, and have a nice chocolaty taste that isn’t overly sweet. You can get a pack of six 8.8-ounce boxes for $25.


  5. Lenny & Larry's The Complete Cookie: Pumpkin Spice

    People don’t usually think of nutrition when they think of cookies. Well, Lenny and Larry’s The Complete Cookie: Pumpkin Spice breaks the cookie cutter mould (pun very much intended) and proves that cookies can be delicious and good for you. These cookies are made with enriched wheat flour, vegan non-hydrogenated margarine, a blend of protein – wheat, pea, soy – pumpkin purée, cinnamon, sea salt, and a few other ingredients. Each cookie provides eight grams of fiber and 16 grams of protein. The reviews are mixed on this one. While some say that these cookies are consistently soft, delicious, and chewy others feel they are dry and somewhat bland, albeit nutritious. To see how you feel about them, you can get a pack of 12 four-ounce cookies for about $24.


  6. Home Free Vanilla Mini Cookies

    While there are tons of flavored cookies on the market nowadays, sometimes it’s nice to keep a plain, vanilla one in the pantry. Home Free Vanilla Mini Cookies are gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, and non-GMO cookies. They are made primarily with gluten-free whole oat flour and the following organic ingredients: evaporated cane sugar, safflower oil, pear juice from concentrate, tapioca starch, buckwheat flour, lemon juice from concentrate, and pure vanilla extract. Reviewers are saying that these cookies are much healthier than typical vanilla wafers, are light and crispy, and are a great crunchy addition to puddings. One reviewer even said that these cookies were “one of the best gluten-free products out there.” To see if you feel the same, you can get a pack of six, five-ounce boxes for a little more than $20.

Reviewers are saying that these macaroons are delicious, made from an excellent combination of ingredients, are good for various diet types, and since they’re so dense, you’re easily satisfied after just one. Just beware, as a few reviewers pointed out, just one macaroon has 100 calories, so if you eat the entire bag of three, that’s a 300-calorie indulgence. If you want to try these out, you can get 12 three-macaroon packs for about $34.50.


  9. Pamela’s Ginger With Sliced Almonds Cookies

    One of the first indications of a wholesome cookie is one that strays from using pure cane sugar and instead opts for a more natural form of sweetening. Pamela’s Ginger With Sliced Almonds Cookies are gluten-free, wheat-free, and dairy-free. They are made with molasses, flour blend (brown rice flour, white rice flour, tapioca starch, sweet rice flour, xanthan gum), monounsaturated safflower oil, sliced almonds, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
