Chocolate = Happiness

10/16/10

This is my story:
I woke up, I dressed up, jogged for 30 minutes, took shower...
It's 9:30am... Look at recipe folder, chocolate chip cookies.... Huh.
Let's give it a try...!

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
not my recipe!!! Here's the link to that blog: http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/

The recipe calls for all purpose flour, but since I bloat when I eat gluten
I used Bob's All Purpose Gluten Free Flour.... They didn't spread out though.
I also cut the sugar to 1/2 cup.


ingredients:
2 1/4 c. gluten free flour (preferably Bob's Red Mill. You may use regular flour if desired)
1 T. baking powder
1 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 c. apple sauce
1 1/2 t. vanilla extract
1/2 c. agave nectar
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. canola oil
1/4 c. earth balance, softened
2 c. dark chocolate chips, organic and vegan
1 c. walnuts (optional)
1 T. water

1. Combine all the dry ingredients, (except for the sugar, chocolate, and nuts) mix and set aside.
2. Mix the earth balance and the canola oil and set aside. Whisk together all the wet ingredients and add the oil mixture. Slowly add the wet to the dry. Mix well then add the 1 T. of water to loosen the batter. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
3. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze for 20 min. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper.
4. When 20 mins. have passed, use a small ice cream scoop or your hand to roll out small doughs. Place them evenly on the cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Then turn off the oven to let them puff for 5 min.
5. Let them cool for 10 minutes and serve warm with a glass of cold almond milk!!!
