Introduction: Vegan Tang Cookies
I’ll start by explaining that this creation is due to my mother’s addiction to Tang. It was a refrigerator staple while I was growing up. My mom doesn’t start the morning with a cup of coffee, she drinks a glass of Tang, everyday for probably at least 30 years. My siblings and I always joke that our mom is probably Tang’s number one customer and the reason they thrive as a business. Anyway, since we always joke with my mom about Tang I decided to make her a special surprise and make her favorite drink into a cookie! These cookies turned out better than I imagined with almost a creamsicle flavor.
Supplies
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour- sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup Tang drink powder
1 flax egg - 1 tablespoon ground flax seed mixed with 3 tablespoons of warm water
1/2 cup vegan butter- softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup vegan white chocolate chips- I used one bar chopped into chunks
Step 1: Make Egg, Fluff Butter
First things first: preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Start by mixing your flax egg in a small bowl and set aside for about 5 minutes.
Next, beat the butter with an electric mixer until fluffy.
Step 2: Add the Sugars
Add the sugar, Tang powder, flax egg and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Sift!
Sift flour, baking powder and baking soda into the bowl. Stir to combine. It will be a little crumbly, that’s ok!
Step 4: Chocolate :D
Fold the white chocolate chips (or chunks) into the mix.
Step 5: Roll & Bake
Roll the cookie dough into tablespoon sized balls. Place the rolled dough on parchment paper and bake for 12-14 minutes in a 350 degree Fahrenheit preheated oven. Let the cookies cool about 10 minutes before eating.

My son is allergic to egg and he loves Tang. This looks like a perfect recipe for him!
Question 2 years ago on Step 2
Can you skip the flax?
Answer 2 years ago
I wouldn’t skip it, you could probably substitute a chia egg or a real egg if you’re not vegan.

I'm not the author, but you'll need some sort of binder - that's what an egg or the flax in this case would do. You could probably sub in an egg if you're not being Vegan about it. I'm sure that there are other egg substitutes, but a quick Google search might be more helpful than me.

I'd bet dried cranberries/cherries would be good in place of the chocolate too, as well as you could likely use Hawaiian Punch instead of tang if you aren't a big citrus/orange fan

can you sub the ingredients to not be vegan? how many eggs?
Reply 2 years ago
Yep! Just use regular butter, white chocolate chips and I think one egg would be enough.
Question 2 years ago
Ok,....I don't understand what I'm looking at in your first pic where you are fluffing the butter. What are the black swirls?

These cookies look delicious! Wonder if they could be made with Kool-Aid.....

Now that’s a good idea! I’ll have to substitute the Tang and see how it turns out :)

what's the meaning of "vegan" butter?
Reply 2 years ago
Any plant based/dairy free butter, some companies include: earth balance, Country crock, Mykonos. You can certainly use real butter if you’re not vegan.

Do you mean 1 1/2 cup white chocolate, rather than 1 1/12?
