Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Inspired by fellow blogger Cheriepicked, I made these delicious simple Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies. The dough was quite crumbly, so you have to kind of pack it into little balls when placing them on the baking sheet. And then I found that cooking them for about 7 minutes first and then flattening them lightly with a spatula, before continuing to bake for another 3 minutes, yielded best results. I was able to make about 28 smaller cookies.

Here is my slightly altered recipe:

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup margarine (room temperature)
3 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together sugars, margarine and vanilla until creamy.
3. In another larger bowl- combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the creamy mix and the chocolate chips to the larger bowl and mix together well.
4. Use a spoon to scoop dough onto an ungreased non-stick cookie sheet. Bake cookies for 7 minutes, flatten lightly with a spatula, and bake for another 3 minutes or until the edges begin to golden. Allow them to cool a few minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet.
