I thought it would be fun to share our family's fave things and hope you guys might do the same. I could always use some fun new ideas of things to try!
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is the recipe I have made to make them the way I love them!
1cup sugar
1cup browns sugar
1 cup Earth Balance butter sticks
2 eggs made from Ener-G egg replacer
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/3 cups flour
Half a bag of ghirardelli dark chocolate chips
Cream sugars and Butter together and then add the egg replacer.... trick I learned if you whisk the egg replacer in to the water until it is frothy it works SOOOOO much better..... Mix the vanilla, baking soda, and salt in. Then add the flour and then the chocolate chips. Drop table spoons of dough on the cookie sheet and bake on 350 for 10-12 minutes. Makes about 3 dozen
