The best cookies ever! (original) (raw)

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 1/4 cup unrefined sugar (animal bone is typically used in refining processes)
3/4 cup vegan margarine (check for "hidden" animal ingredients such as caesin, a milk protein. Earth Balance brand is a good choice, find it at natural foods stores)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup soft or silken tofu
3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips (dark chocolate chips or carob chips)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, stir flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a food processor or blender, blend sugar, margarine, vanilla, and tofu until smooth. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir well, then fold in the chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls onto a nonstick cookie sheet, then press down on them slightly (or you might end up with ball-shaped cookies). Bake 8-10 minutes. Let cool. Indulge yourself, then consider making another batch for whatever reason you initially made the first batch for. Mmmm.

Makes about 24 cookies.
