Chocolate Chip Cookies
Posted May 2, 2011 in Photography
As Isa mentions in her cookbook, Vegan with a Vengeance, these cookies are by no means healthy. There’s always that misconception that if it’s vegan, it’s healthy — and I hate that! The way I figure, if you’re going to have a cookie, have a cookie. If it’s not the healthiest recipe in the book, that’s okay — it’s not like anyone lives solely on cookies. Well, I hope not!I’ve made this recipe several times and it never fails to deliver. When bringing these cookies to a potluck, they’re always the first to go and people just keep grabbing them, one after another. I usually get lots of comments along the lines of, “No way — these are vegan?”
Yeah. Pretty cool.
ETA: Tony, who hosts the weekly Wednesday Night Dinner potluck at his house, posted this on Facebook: Trish Haveman‘s cookies at WND are like crack cocaine. I don’t think it’s practical to make them a controlled substance but I think maybe we should limit how many someone can legally have in their personal possession.
Win!
You are so right! I hate the vegan=healthy notions! I love those cookies.
I know! My mother-in-law is the worst of them all!
When I first went vegan, I made the “Big Gigantoid Crunchy Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Cookies” and shared a few with them, and she kept saying, “Well these are vegan, so they’re healthy, right?” And I’m thinking, Are you serious? Do you have any idea how much sugar is in these? Not to mention the calories from the peanut butter. Oof.
I suppose to a certain degree, vegan food is healthier in that it has no cholesterol. But really … it’s still a cookie.
But where is the recipe? I’m drooling…
I don’t want to post it because of copyright, but I’ll send it to you.
