Glorious Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted in Cookies by

Rolling into week 2 of VeganMofo and do you know what time it is? Breakfast time! And do you know what I’m having for breakfast? Cookies of course!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Cookies for Breakfast, that’s my motto! And these cookies are by far the best chocolate chip cookies I have had since I became vegan 3 and half years ago.

Pre-Vegan I had a go to recipe for chocolate chip cookies, they were just amazing, chewy, gooey little handfuls of joy. Once I became Vegan I pretty much discarded that recipe and never gave it a second thought. Until, the other day actually. I thought I could finally veganize my favorite cookies now that this wonderful product called The Vegg is available. And what better time to try it than during VeganMofo. The results were spectacular and far better than I ever remember. So without further ado I present to you my Glorious Chocolate Chip Cookies.
