Vegan Cowboy Cookies

"This recipe comes from the wonderful book "Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar" by Terri Hope Romero and Isa Chandra Moskowitz. The cookies are big, soft in the centre with a crunchy outside and mmmoreish taste. Chocolate, nuts and coconut, what more could you ask for?! :) Ive also modified the recipe to be more on the healthy side, which yielded a softer cakey cookie. Ive posted that variation as a separate recipe."

  • In a medium sized bowl combine oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a second bowl beat together oil, sugar, brown sugar, milk, flax seeds and vanilla using a wire whisk.
  • Fold in half of the flour mixture to moisten, then fold in second half. Just before mixture is completely combined, fold in coconut, chocolate chips and pecans.
  • For each cookie drop 1/4 cup of dough (about the size of a golf ball) onto a paper-lined or greased cookie sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie and flatten slightly with moistened fingers (or moistened back of measugin cup).
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F/180°C for 14-16 minutes until edges start to brown.
  • Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

  1. This recipe is awesome! I did make a couple of changes though... I used coconut milk instead of oil, used sprouted whole wheat flour, added a tsp of cinnamon, used macadamia nuts instead of pecans, doubled the salt (pink) and used only a half cup of each sugar....and then sprinkled a touch of celtic grey salt on top when I baked them. WOW!
     
  2. I'm not vegan, but I made these for a co-worker and have become an instant fan! So easy to make and now that my daughter has an egg allergy I make these for her a lot, she loves them!
     
  3. These are sooo delicious. Love the added coconut to an oatmeal/chocochip cookie. And, to think these have no butter or eggs!!!! I love that they stayed nice and plump and didn't spread like a normal cookie. <br/>Made for Veggie Swap~
