These are brownie-like and chewy. Be careful not to overbake them, they may seem like they aren't done after 10 minutes but they are. See the variations for Chewy Chocolate Cherry Cookies and Chocolate Hazelnut (or almond or walnut or whatever) Cookies at the bottom of the directions. Ingredients:
3/4 cup canola oil |
2 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 tablespoon flax seed, plus |
1 teaspoon flax seed |
1/2 cup soymilk |
2 cups flour |
3/4 cup cocoa powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups semisweet vegan chocolate chips (obviously, vegan chocolate chips if you want these to be vegan) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Grind flax seeds in a blender until they become a fine powder, then add the soy milk and blend for about 30 seconds more and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, sift together cocoa, flour, baking soda and salt.
4. Cream the sugar and oil in a separate large bowl.
5. Add the flax/soy milk mixture and mix well.
6. Stir in the vanilla.
7. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients (the original recipe does not call for a mixer, but you may want to use yours.).
8. Mix in the chocolate chips.
9. Roll dough into 1 balls and flatten into disks about 1 1/2 in diameter.
10. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1 apart and bake for 10 minutes.
11. Let rest on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then remove with a spatula to a cooling rack and cool completely.
12. **For chocolate chocolate chip cherry cookies, replace 1 teaspoon of the vanilla with almond extract, and use 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 3/4 cup chopped cherries.
13. ***For chocolate nut cookies, replace 1 teaspoon of the vanilla with a nut extract (almond, walnut, etc) and replace the chocolate chips with 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts of your choice.
