The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

In a medium size bowl, whisk together:

1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegan butter (I use Earth Balance)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup applesauce

Once that is all mixed together, add:

1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup vegan chocolate chips (I like Ghirardelli)

Use a spatula to combine.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Use a spoon to make little cookie drops on the baking tray, no need to flatten them or anything. Unless you're a perfectionist and prefer to make each cookie uniform, go for it! But by this point I just want to eat these babies so I'm rushing.

Bake for approximately 9 minutes, keep your eye on them around the 8 minute mark though, once the bottoms are golden, the cookies are done!

Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. And then (if you're me) eat them all.

my batter:


When I made these I used mini chocolate chips, and I used a teaspoon to size my cookies, so mini cookies with mini chips! I don't have a picture, but I swear they were so cute.

I previously declared the chocolate chip cookies in "Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar" as they greatest ever, but now they are second greatest. I like this recipe more because of the butter as opposed to oil. It really adds to the authenticity of a more traditional cookie.

I adapted this recipe from a post on the "SuperVegan" website:here

Back in Business!

I have been away from this blog for quite some time, and I am not really sure why. I think I just got busy with my life things and of course certain aspects get neglected. But I promise I have returned to the internet, with intentions of actually posting recipes!

Because you see, I may not have writing recently, but I have never stopped baking and cooking.

Here is just some of what I've been up to:

Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse icing


Variety of cupcakes


A "Hello Kitty" cake for my best friend!


Mediterranean Olive bread


Banana "ice cream" with cocoa powder!


And much more! I have experimented with gluten-free vegan baking, as well as sampled gluten free pastas. They are delicious! I fed them to my gluten loving family and they even agreed.
I have baked 2 vegan cheesecakes, both of which were to die for. I got the recipe from VegNews, which contained lovely photographs. My cheesecakes were not as photogenic, but will definitely be made again so pictures next time!
Lastly I went on a cookie-spree. I found several vegan cooking blogs online and found a recipe for vegan thin mints. Naturally "Thin Mints" are my absolute favorite Girl Scout flavor, so a few weeks ago I tried my first vegan thin mints. And naturally they were delightful. :)
