Lenten Chocolate Chip Cookies By Evpraxia
Makes 2 dozen cookies.
Ingredients
2 cups unbleached flour (or try a mix with WW pastry flour)
2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup turbinado sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup water — and a bit more
12 ounces chocolate chips-vegan
1/3 cup rolled oats
Directions
VERY IMPORTANT: make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. It will work if they’re not at room temp but it works MUCH better if they are. Also while your oven is pre-heating put the cookie sheets you are going to use on top of the oven so they get preheated as well.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon (if you choose). Add chips. Make a well in the center and set aside.
In a medium size bowl mix vegan sugar and oil. Mix it well. Add the vanilla and then add the water. Mix it well. Add the wet to the well in the dry. Mix it well but be careful not to overwork it. Add more chips if you need to. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Put them in the oven. Bake for 5 minutes and then flip and rotate the sheets.(top to bottom,and 180 degree rotation) Bake another 4 minutes and check them.
The cookies are done when they seem a little bit softer then you want them to be. They will harden up some as they cool. I usually go in one minute increments after the initial 9 minutes until they get to where I like them.
Take them out when they are done and move them to wire cooling racks. If they split or come apart when you try to remove them let them sit on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to the racks.
These cookies have come a long way, lots of time and tasting spent on getting them to where they are now. Vegans and non vegans LOVE them. In the words of my 6 year old son-Mom, you’re the greatest because you know how to make the best cookies. Enjoy and let me know if you have questions. Sweet travels.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 2 dozen cookies.
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 ounces applesauce
1/2 cup flour
1 cup chocolate chips (vegan- change chocolate chips to carob)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together sugar and peanut butter until well combined. Add baking soda and mix. Then add in applesauce and mix until combined. With mixer running add in flour until the mixture forms a doughy, almost dry, texture. Turn off mixer and fold in chocolate chips.
- Roll into one inch balls and flatten slightly. Place onto UNgreased cookie sheet (I have a really good cookie sheet so you may want to use some parchment). I usually fit 12 on the sheet in four rows of 3. Bake for 16 minutes. Cookies will be golden brown and appear VERY SOFT. Let cool for a few minutes before removing them from the cookie sheets.
Note: They do harden up a bit, trust me, and they are DELICIOUS. My extremely picky 2 year old will eat these!
Source of recipe: I made this recipe up when I was having trouble finding a vegan Peanut Butter cookie recipe that worked. Needless to say, I ended up making these every day for over a week! No joke! They are a must try & never last long enough for a picture. I’m sure you could make these easily by hand but I used a stand mixer.
