Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies 2 unbleached flour 2 baking powder 1/4 cinnamon 1/4 cayenne pepper 2/3 chocolate chips 1 sugar 1/2 oil or melted margarine 1 vanilla 1/2 milk (almond or soy) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix dry ingredients. Add chips. Make a well in the center and set aside. In a bowl, mix sugar and oil together well. Add vanilla, then the milk and mix well. Pour into the well in the dry bowl and mix thoroughly. (Do not overwork.) Place cookie-sized chunks of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Make sure to flatten the cookies, as they will not rise much in the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and let the cookies sit for 2 or 3 minutes. Remove the cookies from the sheet and let them sit on a cooling rack. They will become more firm as they cool. If the cookies are too soft after cooling, increase the baking time by a minute or two. If the cookies seem too dark on the bottom, try removing them from the sheet immediately after they are out of the oven. The baking times are very sensitive to different ovens and will require experimentation.
