The Ultimate Oatmeal Cookies

(from ameluv’s recipe box)

Categories: Cookies, Vegan

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - organic
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 to 3 tsp ground cinnamon (depending on how much you love it, I put about 2)
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) softened vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed organic brown sugar
  • 1 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 1 egg OR about 2 1/2 tsp Ener-G egg replacer mixed with 3 tbsp warm water
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Mix together flour, baking soda and cinnamon in a large bowl.

  2. Beat together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a second bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg replacer and vanilla.

  3. Beat flour mixture into butter mixture until blended. Fold in oats and chocolate chips, and then stick into the fridge for a bit while the oven heats up. Put the bowl back into the fridge while each batch of cookies bakes, to keep the dough chilled.

  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 baking sheets.

  5. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly.

  6. Bake until lightly browned around the edges, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a minute or two before transfer to racks to cool completely. Makes 2 to 3 dozen, depending on size.


  7. Check the cookies by gently pressing on the top of the cookies. If the inside looks moist, but not too wet they are probably done. It might take you a couple of tries to get the time down, so bake only a few at a time when starting out. Do not expect to see them turn slightly brown when done cooking. Without real eggs, they will not get that dark. They will, however, turn a golden tan.
