Vegan you ask? Well this recipe is inspired by the vegan cookbook that I checked out from the library. It is NOT the same recipe. I actually changed it a lot, which I think made it 100 times better!
With that said, let me tell you what happend. As I was preparing the cookie dough, I noticed that the dough was very dry and crumbly. I tried to add some almond milk, but I was absolutely sure this thing would turn out a DISASTER! However, I was pleasantly surprised with how well the cookies survived!
So I did total vegan on these cookies. Here's what you'll need.
1/3 cup nondairy, nonhydrogenated butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup almond butter
2 tablespoons almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees Farenheit.
2.) In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, almond butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract until creamy.
3.) In different bowl, mix flour and baking powder.
4.) Add flour mix to wet ingredients and mix. Add extra almond milk if the dough is too crumbly.
5.) Roll batter into balls and place them on a cookie sheet. Use a fork to create criss cross lines on top. This will also flatten the cookies... that's ok.
6.) Pop cookies into the oven for about 12 minutes or until the edges are a nice golden brown.
I was able to get a dozen cookies out of this recipe. I like my cookies kind of large. If you made them smaller, you can probably get almost 2 dozen cookies.
So here's how it turned out...
Enjoy!

Wow.. looks yum.. above all its whole wheat.
I'm glad you think they look yum! I actually gave a couple cookies to my friend who thinks I'm crazy for being vegetarian and cooking vegan things. She thought they were SO good! If you make these, let me know what you think!
