Vegan Double Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies


 My two sisters and their families came to visit California from Denver and Las Vegas last weekend. I had so much fun seeing them. In the midst of all of this family time I was able to bake with my niece, Jillian and  my nephew, Jake! They're both a little silly about vegan food but I convinced them to to try it out. They decided they wanted to make double dark chocolate cookies. Jillian and Jake pretty much made the cookies on their own and they came out delicious!

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon bakind soda
1 cup vegan butter
1 cup brown sugar packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
egg replacer equivalent to 2 eggs
1/4 cup almond milk
1 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks

What to do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl mix together flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugar until creamy and then beat in vanilla and egg replacer.
Mix in the flour mixture slowly then mix in the almond milk.
Stir in the dark chocolate chunks.
Onto a lightly greased cookie sheet roll out cookies any size you want.
Bake for 10-15 minutes.

 He ate the whole thing!
My beautiful niece, Jillian.
