The Ultimate Chocolate Vegan Chip Cookies

Pass by dear friend Katharina, friend of Mr. Chris. Created in March 2004.

To make about 30-35 cookies!

Instructions:

1. Sift the Dry Ingredients:

• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, cream the oil and part of the sugar either by hand or using a blender.

• (Tip: If using a blender, don’t add the sugar first—start with the oil and only part of the sugar.)

• Once combined, add the remaining sugar, soy/rice milk, flaxseed mixture, vanilla, and any optional flavorings like orange zest or mint extract. Blend until smooth.

3. Combine Wet and Dry:

• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.

4. Add the Oats and Chocolate:

• Gently fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chunks.

5. Form Cookies:

• Shape the dough into balls about 2 cm in diameter and place them 2 cm apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

6. Bake:

• Bake at 170°C (338°F) for 9-13 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.

Enjoy your yummy batch!
