i'm pretty sure i married the cookie monster. personally, i'm a brownie kinda gal, but one thing's for sure- i definitely married into a cookie family. and i count that as a good thing, as i've grown to appreciate the scrumptious rounds tremendously.
this is my mom-in-law (aka cookie queen)'s recipe, and it's tried, true, and totally delicious. at her house, they are made at least 2-3x a week, and though it's much less at our house (sorry, dave!) they are definitely our favorite dessert.
of course, we were a bit frightened about what our latest vegan adventure would mean for this favorite recipe, but i'm happy to say that with a few vegan substitutes they turned out just as good- honestly! i couldn't believe it.. below, i'll give you the original recipe as well as our vegan substitutes. yum yum!
recipe:
combine:
- 1 cup butter {vegan sub: earth balance butter}
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
mix above ingredients in an electric mixer.
add:
- 2 eggs {vegan sub: 1/2 cup of apple sauce OR 2 flax eggs}
mix again!
add:
- 2-1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
mix!
add:
- 12 oz vegan chocolate chips and mix
spoon out onto a lightly greased baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 12-15 mins- enjoy!
Yum! These look so tasty and of course I had to read this right before lunch time =)
These look delicious! hmmmm… gooey cookies sound so good!
I think this is the same as the the Nestle Tollhouse recipe, but with whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. I wonder if that’s what makes it gooeier.
jac, it may be! just with a whole wheat-vegan twist. :)
My fellow is a cookie monster too, so we’re trying these out tonight! I’ve been using flax “eggs” in a lot of my baking too lately: they work great in muffins! Thanks for sharing this :)
thanks for sharing, simone! i have used flax as well, seems to work great!
I’m trying these right now. :)
These are in the oven. Glad I’ve discovered your blog! <3
hi hope! yeah! how’d they turn out?
Just made these! Delicious. I’ve never used whole wheat flour in cookies…so yummy! Thank you for the recipe.
Excoted to try the vegan choc chip cookies. I thought you might like to know that the phrase is, “coming home to roost” not “going”.
well, the phrase is going home to roost around here! you can read more about why i named it this on my about page.
