recipe entry #i forget, it’s been a while: cookies
So I finally did it: I made perfectly reasonable looking and tasting vegan chocolate chip cookies without a hitch. It only took a year and a half, no big deal.
These are lightly adapted (healthified) from Dreena Burton’s Vive le Vegan recipe. If you, too, are having trouble with getting your vegan cookies to resemble cookies more than clusterfucks, I suggest using oil for the fat instead of margarine. That way you also don’t have to cream the margarine and sugar, which can be brutal on your wrists (which you should really be using for blogging).
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (preferably grade B)
- 1 1/2-2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the dry stuff and wet stuff separately, then together. Add the good bits. Don’t overmix! Spoon ‘em out and flatten a bit. Bake for 12 minutes. Don’t burn them because then you’ll really feel like an asshole. Makes a dozen, should last you about three hours.
this is what concerns me: » vegan for a week, a laugh and a sweet paycheck wrote:
[...] – Another journo goes vegan and rails about how tough his life was without bloody shanks in perhaps the douchiest display yet (think: Bourdain forced to eat curry for a week and then waxing whiny about it to some 150 wpm assistant); but perhaps because he’s British (and employed by the Guardian) the humor makes up for some of the whine. Still, dude could use a cookie. [...]
