{the best} chocolate chip cookies
March 8, 2011
i’m pretty sure i married the cookie monster. personally, i’m a brownie kinda gal, but one thing’s for sure- i definitely married into a cookie family. and i count that as a good thing, as i’ve grown to appreciate the scrumptious rounds tremendously.
this is my mom-in-law (aka cookie queen)’s recipe, and it’s tried, true, and totally delicious. at her house, they are made at least 2-3x a week, and though it’s much less at our house (sorry, dave!) they are definitely our favorite dessert.
of course, we were a bit frightened about what our latest vegan adventure would mean for this favorite recipe, but i’m happy to say that with a few vegan substitutes they turned out just as good- honestly! i couldn’t believe it.. below, i’ll give you the original recipe as well as our vegan substitutes. yum yum!
recipe:
combine:
- 1 cup butter {vegan sub: earth balance butter, i used the soy free kind}
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
mix above ingredients in an electric mixer.
add:
- 2 eggs {vegan sub: 1/2 cup of apple sauce}
mix again!
add:
- 2-1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
mix!
add:
- 12 oz chocolate chips and mix
spoon out onto a lightly greased baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 12-15 mins- enjoy!

welcome lovelies! my name is bonnie and this is where i roost. i hope you'll grab a cup of tea and make yourself comfy- we look forward to getting to know you! you can learn more about me and why i love to blog 
Yum! These look so tasty and of course I had to read this right before lunch time =)
These look delicious! hmmmm… gooey cookies sound so good!
I think this is the same as the the Nestle Tollhouse recipe, but with whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. I wonder if that’s what makes it gooeier.
jac, it may be! just with a whole wheat-vegan twist. :)
My fellow is a cookie monster too, so we’re trying these out tonight! I’ve been using flax “eggs” in a lot of my baking too lately: they work great in muffins! Thanks for sharing this :)
thanks for sharing, simone! i have used flax as well, seems to work great!
I’m trying these right now. :)
These are in the oven. Glad I’ve discovered your blog! <3
hi hope! yeah! how’d they turn out?
