Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies


I adapted these from the Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe in "Vegan Cookies - Invade Your Cookie Jar". If you would like the original recipe please check out the book. I have not made them as in the book yet. They are yummy, and kid approved.

I've also committed to paying my neighbour, for allowing me to park in one of her spaces, with cookies. She is now unknowingly a vegan cookie guinea pig, and I do hope to get honest answers from her.

YIELD: 2 dozen


INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup White Sugar
2/3 cup Canola Oil
1/4 cup Rice Milk (Unsweetened)
1 tbsp Cornstarch
2 tsp Vanilla
1 cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 cup One Minute Oatmeal
1/8 cup Ground Flax Seed
- Chocolate Chips (As few or as many as you'd like)


DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 359˚.

Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper, or lightly grease.

Combine sugars, oil, rice milk and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Mix VERY well with a fork or whisk (about 2 minutes) until it looks like a smooth caramel. This is very important. (Though I'm not sure why)

Add vanilla.

Mix in flour, baking soda and salt. Blend well.

Add the oatmeal, and flax and mix again.

Lastly add in the chocolate chips.

Roll batter into balls and press with hand to flatten on tray or dollop with a tablespoon.

Bake for 6 to 8 minutes depending on the size of your cookies.

Enjoy, or seal in a container - if you haven't eaten them all.
