One day recently when Kaia and Lexi were over, I thought it would be fun if we baked some cookies. Since I had ordered vegan white chocolate chips online a while ago, I figured this would be a good time to try them out.
Vegan Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies (adapted from this recipe)
1 cup (or 2 sticks) Earth Balance, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 T ground flaxseed (I used golden)
6 T water
2 t vanilla extract
2 cups unbleached flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t sea salt
1 bag vegan white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the ground flaxseed and water together in a small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the Earth Balance and sugar until smooth. Add 1/2 the flaxseed mixture to the Earth Balance and mix well, add the other 1/2 and mix well again. Stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir this into the Earth Balance mixture. Add in the white chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets.(I like to use a small scoop for this). Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing. Put on wire racks to cool.
Both of the girls loved these cookies. Kaia ate 5 of them before I finally told her she needed to stop and save some to take home with her. The recipe said it makes 4 1/2 dozen and that was probably close to true, it felt like we had a lot of cookies to eat. Luckily my husband and son love cookies, and we sent a container full home with the girls.
Here they are playing in the pool. I love them so much!! :)
