Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe by Cook's Hideout

VeganMofo Day 27: I had to make some snacks or treats for my son's Kindergarten class yesterday and I decided to try these Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies that I found at Erica's Sweet Tooth blog. I had all the ingredients on hand and the resultant cookies turned out delicious. Feedback from my son's class also came back positive (you know how brutally honest a bunch of 5 year olds can be).

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• roasted chickpeas
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup chocolate (Vegan Chips)
• roasted chickpeas
• 10 tbsps vegan Butter ((I used Earth Balance Stick) or use 2/3 cup vegetable oil)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tbsp molasses (Dark)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips in a bowl.
3. In another bowl, cream butter (or oil) and sugar and light and fluffy. Add soy milk, vanilla and molasses, mix well.
4. Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
5. Form dough into small balls and place them on the baking sheet. Press lightly to flatten the cookies.
6. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden and baked.
7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then place them on a wire rack until completely cool.
