Easy molasses chocolate chip cookies made with whole wheat flour and plenty of chocolate chips. Vegan!
Molasses Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you like chocolate chip cookies, why not try vegan chocolate chip cookies? My husband said last night as he chewed thoughtfully "You can't even tell these are vegan!" - always one of my top criteria when making 'special' sweets. And it's true. OK yes: there's no buttery undertone, but I'd argue you might not miss it. I used whole wheat pastry flour and brown sugar here, which complement each other beautifully. Good dark chocolate chips are a must, plus a touch of vanilla and molasses. I am restraining myself from shoving another in my mouth as I type, mostly because I'm so delighted to add yet another solid vegan dessert recipe to my list -- and because I can share it with you.
