Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found this recipe at simple-nourished-living.com.  This is hands down the best "healthy" chocolate chip cookie recipe I've ever had.  I have experimented with a few and this one is leaps and bounds better than all of the others.  It tastes so good you would never know there isn't sugar, eggs, and butter in these.  Enjoy!



Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup rolled oats
6 tablespoons canola, safflower, or sunflower oil (I used grapeseed oil)
6 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chocolate chip or vegan carob cookies (I use Enjoy Life brand- they are sugar, dairy, & soy free)
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional- I didn't use nuts)
1 cup barley flour (I used spelt)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
 
Directions

Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Position one of your oven’s racks in the center. Preheat oven to 350 F. Process the oats in a food processor or blender until they are the consistency of coarse flour. (I didn't do this I just left the oats in there whole form.)

In a large bowl mix all ingredients until well combined.

With a small ice cream scoop or two 2 spoons, scoop out a heaping tablespoon of the batter onto the prepared cookie sheets. Flatten the cookies slightly with damp fingers or the bottom of a flat glass (Dip the glass in water first to prevent sticking.)

Bake one cookie sheet at a time on the center rack, for 11 minutes. 

Makes about 2 dozen
