Soft N' Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

MellyLou's Note:

This is my favorite vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe to date and it's the most simple too! Consistency is soft on the inside, with a bit of a crisp to the outside and one should be sure to not let them overcook! The cookie dough gets even better if it's allowed to chill, or if the cookie dough is only used partially and the rest is then stored in refrigerator or freezer.

Ingredients:

Serves: 24

Yield: 24 cookies

• 3/4 cup Earth Balance whipped spread
• 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 Ener-G Egg Substitute
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch

• semi-sweet chocolate chips, to your liking

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together Earth Balance and sugar together, until thoroughly mixed.
3. Make egg replacement in a separate bowl and then add it to creamed sugar mixture, along with the vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly incorporated--we're going for "light and fluffy"!
4. In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients, mix thoroughly with a wire whisk, then add to wet mixture. Mix until just incorporated, but do not over mix.
5. Add chocolate chunks to your liking and mix lightly.
6. Spoon (heaping teaspoon or a tablespoon) onto ungreased cookie sheet and cook for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
