A friend made these for us a few days ago and dropped them at our doorstep! What a FANTASTIC surprise!!!! Baked goods? GOOD! Chocolate Chip Cookies? GOOD! Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies?! UTTERLY FANTASTIC!!
I should refrain from telling you I ate six of them tonight after my dinner..... BUT..... maybe that'll give you an idea of just how good they are! That, and my utter lack of self control.
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups unbleached flour (I use whole wheat)
2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp.salt (I use kosher salt)
cinnamon to taste (optional)
vegan chocolate or carob chips - put in as many as you like
1 cup sugar (I use raw sugar)
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup water
Directions:
VERY IMPORTANT-make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. It will work if they're not at room temp but it works MUCH better if they are. Also while your oven is pre-heating put the cookie sheets you are going to use on top of the oven so they get preheated as well. Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon (if you choose). Add chips. Make a well in the center and set aside.
In a medium size bowl mix vegan sugar and oil. Mix it well. Add the vanilla and then add the water. Mix it well. Add the wet to the well in the dry. Mix it well but be careful not to overwork it. Add more chips if you need to. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Put them in the oven. Bake for 5 minutes and then flip and rotate the sheets.(top to bottom,and 180 degree rotation) Bake another 4 minutes and check them.
The cookies are done when they seem a little bit softer then you want them to be. They will harden up some as they cool. I usually go in two minute increments from here untill they get to where I like them.
Take them out when they are done and move them to wire cooling racks. If they split or come apart when you try to remove them let them sit on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to the racks.
These cookies have come a long way, lots of time and tasting spent on getting them to where they are now. Vegans and non vegans LOVE them. In the words of my 6 year old son-Mom, you're the greatest because you know how to make the best cookies. Enjoy and let me know if you have questions. Sweet travels.
Serves: almost two dozen
Preparation time: 15 mins?-10 to 12 cooking time

:) Makes me smile! Glad you liked them. Actually thinking about making another batch for myself, but I am trying to restrain myself.
Just wanted to let you know that if you make them, I only put them in for 8 minutes. And actually, the second batch didn't seem to cook as quickly as the first. Not sure how that's possible. Oh and I only did one tray at a time!
WOO Vegan chocolate Chip cookies!
