Chocolate Chip Cookies

Making desserts I was unable to eat all day gave me a wicked craving for cookies, so I decided to put my new book to use and make ones of the chocolate chip variety.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 4 1/2 teaspoons of egg replacer plus 6 tablespoons of water

-OR-

• 1 1/2 bananas


• 1 cup vegan butter


• 3/4 cup granulated sugar


• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar(light or dark)


• 2 tsp vanilla extract


• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, or 1 1/8 each whole wheat and all-purpose


• 1 tsp baking soda


• 1 tsp salt


• 1-2 cups vegan chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Whip together the egg replacer and water, or mash the bananas.


2. Cream together the butter, both sugars and the vanilla extract. Add the egg replacer or bananas and stir until combined


3. Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl until combined. Beat the flour into the wet mixture. When combined, stir in the chocolate chips.


4. Roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until done.


5. Place on handy dandy wire cooling rack, then eat!

These cookies were amazing, and got the seal of approval from my very skeptical non-vegan boss. I had to bake them for a little longer than the recommended amount of time, so just keep checking them if they're not done after the 8 minutes. I like my cookies chewy and moist, so I didn't let them get too brown.
