Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today's project was cookies! I wanted to try something totally different.  I came across a great food blog with this recipe:

Check out the link above to visit this yummy blog.  The recipe is also copied below.
These cookies were awesome! I have to say, they are probably the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I have ever tried. Now, I know you might think..what is the point of a vegan cookie??? I don't know..but what I do know is that you don't need eggs or dairy to make this cookie and it is great.




Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2 cups unbleached flour
1 cup quick cook oatmeal
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup vegan chocolate chips
3/4 cup vegetable oil, or melted vegan butter (I use corn oil, I find it works better)
1/3 cup orange juice
1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
In a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients. Combine the oil, orange juice, and vanilla; then mix with the dry. Roll the dough in your hands to make 1 1/2 inch balls. Place them on a large cookie sheet and flatten them to about 1/4 inch thick with your fingers or a fork. Bake at 400 degrees on middle rack for about 12 minutes or until they are just beginning to brown. Cool on cookie racks.
