The perfect quick and easy vegan chocolate chip cookies

Recently when I was craving chocolate chip cookies, I didn't want to put in much time or effort.. I literally just wanted to eat delicious vegan cookies and as quickly as possible. I found this recipe and can vouch that it is indeed easy, fast, and the cookies were AMAZING. That perfect in-between of not too hard and not too soft and just moist enough that there's no need to spray your baking sheet. Full credit to Instructables.com for this one, but to get a quick version, see my post below (I try to minimize my "chatter" in my recipe blog posts, because if my readers are like me, you don't want to read someone' life story.. you just want to get to the damn recipe already!).



Nom nomz.

Ingredients:

2 ¼ cups flour (I always use whole wheat)
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½-1 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)
¾-1 cup of vegan dark chocolate chips
¾ cup raw sugar
½ cup oil or vegan butter (I prefer coconut oil or earth balance)
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup non-dairy milk OR water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix everything together (I always do wet and dry separately and then combine them). Electric mixers are easiest, but you can also use a whisk or silicon spatula to mix by hand. Add chocolate chips last.

Add spoonfuls to an uncreased cookie sheet. The oil/butter in the cookies keeps them from burning so you don't need to grease your sheet. You should get between 12-24 cookies depending on the size of your scoops.

Bake for 10-18 mins depending on your oven (I baked for 10 and they were soft and gooey!) The cookies do not darken much so going by color won't be helpful- instead, check to see if they're just a little bit too soft for your liking, and then pull them out to cool (they'll harden more once they cool).

Enjoy!
