These were pretty good, for vegan. I did use regular flour, and 1/4 cup each maple syrup and agave nectar. Otherwise I did not deviate from the recipe. These cookies were done at 12 mins in my convection oven.

i used regular flour and the cookies turned out very nicely, though a little bit dry. but even better than the cookies is the dough! it's amazing! it's especially good rolled into balls and frozen.
