Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
You think it is not possible to make a mouth-watering, soft and chewy cookie without butter or dairy ingredients? Let me change your belief today. Not just that, these cookies are made without all-purpose flour with no compromise in taste. Just watch my step by step video and you will see how easy it is to stay vegan. I am talking about soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies.
The best part of this cookie is Its vegan and you can eat the cookie dough raw without fear of salmonella. These make a wonderful treat to share with your friends and family around.
This is one recipe that I have made several times only to find an empty cookie jar the next day 🙂 As I said, I avoided all-purpose flour and used whole wheat flour instead. And I used maple syrup, brown sugar combination instead of common sugar. Flax meal (in warm water) serves as the binder. That's a snapshot of all the vegan replacements it takes to create soft and chewy cookies. You could also replace the flax meal with chia seeds to get the same wonderful texture. This is one recipe you don't need too many vessels other than a mixing bowl and a spatula.
