Newman’s Own: A Pioneer in Health Food
Newman’s Own has been a beacon in the health food scene since its beginning, with many attributing the late, great Paul Newman for spotlighting organic and GMO-free products. While it was a team effort, Newman’s Own boasts an array of high-quality vegan products.
One standout is the Newman O’s Creme-Filled Chocolate Biscuit, particularly the wheat & dairy-free variety. If you’re looking for an alternative to Oreos, this could be your new go-to.
Uncle Eddie’s Vegan Cookies
Uncle Eddie’s Vegan Cookies is a family-run bakery in Los Angeles, California. They started with a simple mission: to bake cookies that taste like they’re fresh from your kitchen.

They use top-quality, mostly organic ingredients, and are committed to sustainable agriculture. It’s a labor of love that results in cookies that remind you of the best homemade treats you’ve ever had.
Enjoy Life
If you’re looking for allergy-friendly vegan cookies, check out Enjoy Life. We can’t get enough of their snickerdoodle soft baked cookies and sugar crisp crunchy cookies. Just rememberto double-check the packaging for honey, as not all their products are vegan.
Tate’s Bake Shop
Tate’s Bake Shop has recently introduced two new vegan cookies: Chocolate Chip and Vanilla Maple. These crispy cookies are so good, they won’t last long in your pantry. We especially love dipping them in dairy-free milk for a late-night treat.
