Sometimes we need to indulge without feeling too much guilt. When I get a sweet craving I will whip up these delicious chocolate chip cookies, which contain no meat or dairy. With only 8 ingredients and 8-10 minutes baking time, you can have a batch of tasty vegan cookies warm out of the oven in a half hour total. These cookies have been compared to non-vegan cookies and passed the test countless times! Try it for yourself.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup nonhydrogenated margarine, at room temperature
• 1 ¼ cup sugar
• 1 TBSP Molasses
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (Dark chocolate or vegan)

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 350F
• Start by creaming together the margarine and sugar until fluffy. Add the molasses and vanilla. Add the flour, baking soda and salt, and mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Until lightly browned. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Hints:

You can substitute the flour with whole wheat or gluten-free flour, if you’d like to up the health factor on these. I also love to add walnuts to mine.

I hope you enjoy these! I brought these to a potluck recently and no one could tell they were vegan!
