I also baked a quick batch of cookies last night. I’ve got a kitchenaid stand mixer, so the whole process takes about 5 minutes (plus 15 for baking). They make super delicious bar cookies that satisfy vegans and non-vegans alike. I mean it. They’re everything you want in a cookie. The recipe is really easy, and easy to remember.
1 stick earth balance
1 cup of sugar
1 3/4 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
a few tablespoons soymilk
vegan chocolate chips
Oven at 375. Cream the earth balance and sugar. Add the flour (with the salt and baking powder mixed in), and mix until it turns into fine crumbles. Add just enough soymilk (with the vanilla mixed in) until it comes together into a ball when you squeeze it. It doesn’t take much, less than a quarter cup. Add as many chocolate chips as you want, and maybe some pecans or other nuts if you want. Dump it out into a greased 9×13 pan (I use a standard pyrex one) and press it down evenly with your hands. Bake until golden brown around the edges, about 15-20 minutes. Cut them before they get too cold, they have a tendency to stick to the pan.
Perfect with a glass of unsweetened soymilk, or served still warm with some high-quality vanilla vegan ice cream on top.
