These vegan chai sugar cookies are a protein-packed, gluten-free, and sugar-free twist on Taylor Swift’s viral chai cookies. Made with oat flour, sugar-free sweetener, and vanilla chai protein, they’re cozy, spiced, and perfect for fall baking.

If you’ve been on the internet in the past year, you know Taylor Swift didn’t just break streaming records; she broke the internet with her chai sugar cookies. These cookies went viral for their warm chai spice and cozy vibes, quickly becoming the unofficial soundtrack snack of “All Too Well (10 Minute Version).”

But if you’re vegan, gluten-free, or watching your sugar intake, you may have thought these cookies were off limits. Good news: they’re not anymore. I’ve taken Taylor’s recipe and given it a makeover, think plant-based, sugar-free, and protein-boosted. Now you can sing along to Folklore while enjoying cookies that fit right into your wellness routine.

Instructions

Make the flax egg by combining flaxseed meal with water. Set aside to thicken.
Cream it up: In a mixing bowl, beat vegan butter, oil, and both sweeteners until light and fluffy. Mix in the flax egg and vanilla.
Spice it right: Whisk oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, salt, and all chai spices in a separate bowl.
Combine: Stir dry ingredients into wet until just blended. The dough will be soft.
Chill out: Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour (this keeps them from spreading too much).
Bake: Scoop onto a parchment-lined sheet, flatten slightly, and bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.
Cool + glaze: Let cool before drizzling with your nutmeg glaze. Sprinkle with extra chai spice for bonus coziness. If you don’t want to make your own glaze, frost them with vegan frosting!

Tips for the Best Vegan Chai Cookies

If your dough feels dry (protein powder + oat flour can be thirsty), add a splash of oat milk.
These cookies are tender and slightly chewy, perfect for pairing with a chai latte.
Want an even stronger spice kick? Add a dash of chai spice mix into the glaze.
