faervfillia's Note:

This is one of the only desserts that i eat as a vegan. They taste really good, aren't that hard to make, and are actually pretty good for you. This recipe is one that has been adapted from Vegan Planet.

Great cookies - loved them. And as to the earlier margarine comment - most vegans know which margarines are suitable, so no, it's not false advertising.

um, maybe it is just my imagination but isn't most margarine truly not vegan so this is sort of a false advertising of a vegan cookie?
