Every once and a while you know how you just start craving a really good chocolate chip cookie?

Well then, I have the perfect recipe that I just have to share! I ran across this recipe online and tried it out quite some time ago...and fell in love.

It's simple and easy to make, uses no egg replacer, and is super super yummy!

Here is the recipe thanks to Dreena Burton!

Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies  -> -> ->

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup unrefined sugar

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/3 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 tsp blackstrap molasses

1-1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup organic canola oil(a little generous 1/4 cup)

1/3 cup non-dairy chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine maple syrup with the molasses and vanilla, then stir in the oil until well combined. 

Add the wet mixture to the dry and then add in the chocolate chips. Make sure not to over mix.

Place large spoonfuls on a baking sheet and then flatten a little bit.

Bake for 11 min, until just golden. 

Makes 8-10 large cookies.

I really love making these. They always turn out so yummy and are really beautiful cookies!

Making vegan cookies rocks....let me tell you why!

1. You can freely eat the cookie dough without any worry of getting  salmonella poisoning!

Fact: Every year, Americans suffer 76 million illnesses, over 300,000 hospitalizations, and over 5,000 deaths from something they ate, most likely from an animal origin.

2. You don't have to buy eggs. Eggs are part of a chickens menstrual cycle. Not exactly something that I would consider appetizing!

3. Eggs are extremely high in cholesterol which could be very damaging to your health!

4. OK, now my favorite reason why it rocks to make vegan cookies....you get to drink milk, not milk from a cow that has around 13 million puss cells per 8 0z glass, but all of the wonderful alternatives! Not just soy, but almond, rice, oat, and hempmilk. Not only are they wonderfully healthy for you in comparison, but they are so yummy!

Now go live your dreams!
