The most AMAZING vegan choc chip cookies you will ever make. I promise. I make them for my staunchy carnivore friends and they prefer these over the subway ones.
I modified the recipe from vegweb
http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=6391.0
2 cups SR flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
vegan chocolate or carob chips (i usually use 1 block of 70% dark lindt chopped up)
1 cup raw sugar (i use 1/2 brown sugar, 1/2 raw)
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/4 cup water
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 175C. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt. Stir in choc chips.
2. In a medium size bowl, add together sugar and oil; mix well. Add the vanilla and then add the water; mix well. Add the wet to the well in the dry. Mix it well but be careful not to overwork it.
3. Roll them into balls and flatten them onto baking trays lined with baking paper. Bake for about 10 minutes if you want chewy cookies, and 12-15 min for crunchy. The cookies will harden up some as they cool. I usually go in two minute increments from here until they get to where I like them.
4. Take them out when they are done and let cool on the trays for 10 minutes. Move them to wire cooling racks. If they split or come apart when you try to remove them let them sit on the pan for a while longer before transferring them to the racks.
