Think you can't have great cookies as a vegan? Think again. This is just a tasty and amazing chocolate chip recipe. Enjoy! Ingredients: 1/2 cup vegan margarine, melted (I use Earth Balance) 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 very ripe banana, mashed 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt (i always add a little more) 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (those 2 tablespoons make a DIFFERENCE) 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (NO Milk though) Preparation: In a bowl, mix margarine, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and banana thoroughly together. Add the vanilla, baking soda and salt and stir until incorporated into the margarine, sugar, banana mixture. Add flour and fold in until incorporated. Lastly, add the chips and whatever else you want. Fold until uniform. To make them become crispy and chewy, use a really warm dough. If you like doughier, cakier cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes or so. Using a 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon, spoon balls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until cookies are golden brown and set. Eat your heart out! Store in an air tight container. They will crisp up when they cool, but will become soft and chewy in the coming days. BM
