Recipes of the Damned
Earlier this summer I was asked to provide a vegan dessert for a party. I already had some homemade sorbet on hand — I’ll post about that at another time — but I wanted something more traditionally sweet as well. So I searched for some recipes and found this list of Oh She Glows’ top 21 vegan desserts of 2011 , and on it found this recipe for vegan chocolate chip cookies , and so I tried it.
This particular recipe is a pretty simple substitution project: replace the butter with a vegan spread, replace the eggs with flaxseed and water, and make sure the chocolate chips don’t have dairy.
I was grateful for that because I was searching at the last minute (how unlike me, I know) and didn’t want to have to traipse all over town looking for unusual ingredients. I did stop at our neighborhood health food store because I knew the non-dairy butter selection at our regular grocery can be iffy, but most grocery stores should easily have ground flaxseed and non-dairy spread. If your grocery doesn’t have refrigerator space for the ground flaxseed, it still may have a regular display of Bob’s Red Mill
