Answer 1

I make my cookies with a product called "Ener-G Egg Replacer." It's a powder that you mix with warm water and helps the cookies bake as if they had eggs in them. Many cakes can also be made without eggs.

Answer 2

Well, vegetarians can eat cookies by the terms of being a vegetarian. Vegans can not eat cookies because they believe that eggs are, well were, a life form and shouldn't be eaten. Vegans, by deffinition, dont support wearing leather or drinking milk. Plus, eggs aren't fertilized thus they wouldn't grow up to be little chicks.

Answer 3

The reason that vegans avoid eggs isn't because they will eventually become chickens. They avoid eggs because of the extreme suffering that egg laying hens have to endure.

They are forced to live in a cage the exact size of a slice of school paper with 9 other hens. To keep the hens from pecking each other to death, they have their beaks seared off with a hot blade at a very young age. The cages are crowded into utility sheds, stacked one on top of another. The hens have to live in the excrements of all the hens above them. Many times they have crap caked up so tick on their feathers that they will become sick and die, so in response to that, they are pumped full of preventative antibiotics.
Since a regular cycle of egg laying doesn't make enough profit, they are also starved for 2 weeks to push the hens into egg production before they are ready. They are pumped full of growth hormones so they mature from birth to adult in only 3 months, making it hard for them to hold their heads up or stand on 2 feet because the rapid growth or girth does not allow their bodies to prepare and most times their muscles and bones can't support it. They never see a shred of daylight their entire lives, or have the feel of grass under their feet.
That's just the beginning. Read about it for yourself.

Personally, I have nothing against buying eggs, but I always buy from local farms that let their hens foam free in the grass, and get to enjoy life. If I can't get my hands on any period of time, I wait.

Answer 4

Vegetarians can eat cookies because they eat Eggs, and Milk products. Eggs that we eat aren't babies at all. They are unfertilized eggs so nothing is inside the egg but the yolks. No dead babies in there either. O.O;

Vegan's can't eat cookies because they don't eat anything to do with animals. Including sometimes stuff like honey which comes from bees. Butter, Milk products, Eggs... etc

Answer 5

no rely if the question is tongue-in-cheek or no longer, maximum animal crackers (sure, they're called animal crackers, no longer animal cookies, for some reason) are certainly vegan. this implies they have not have been given any egg or dairy products in them. (some people on Yahoo solutions seem to be at a loss for words approximately what vegan is. Vegan ability no animal products. this implies no meat, no milk, no egg, no honey, etc.)

Answer 6

I am capable of picking up a cookie, putting it into my mouth, taking a bite, closing my mouth, chew, swallow and repeat until the cookie is finished. Therefore I can eat a standard cookie.

However, being vegan, I choose for faith reasons to not eat animal or animal products. I have cookie and cake recipes that contain no animal products.

Answer 7

vegetarians can eat cookies becasue they are not meat. the eggs in the store are unfertilized and therefore will never hatch into anything (eggs are like chicken periods!). vegans, however, do not eat cookies unless they do not have eggs or milk in them becasue they do not eat any product from an animal.

Answer 8

I'm vegan and I eat cookies all the time. I just make them differently (like using EarthBalance in place of butter and fruit puree in place of eggs) or I specifically buy vegan cookies.

Answer 9

of course

depends if you are strict vegan or vegetarian

now as far as eggs and the whole ethical thing that is on you.

all eggs are not manufactured the same.

I went through a strict vegan phase and latter adjusted it to round out my diet.

free range, chemical free, scratch fed chickens are not treated like factory chickens.

as well there are lots of egg replacements and other things to make cookies with that are vegan.

Look up vegan baked goods or even raw food cookies for that matter.

Tons of recipes available.

I've known 2 families of "veggies" and one ate eggs and drank milk and the other didn't. They both had cookies and desserts, though. I think Julie simply used recipes that didn't have eggs in them. The other family ate even puddings and things. Does this answer your question?
