Crispy Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • I found these really yummy egg-less cookies and thought I would share the recipe!  At first we didn't think they would be good but we loved them.  They have sort of a toffee like after taste.  I sometimes like to add oats and/or coconut.
  • Ingredients:
  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons of water
  • 1 2/3 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips 
  • 1 cup oats (optional)
  • 1 cup coconut (optional)
Preheat your oven to 350˚.  Put the Earth Balance, sugars and vanilla in a bowl.  Using a mixer, beat until light and creamy, about 2 minutes on medium speed.  Add the water and mix until blended.  In a separate bowl mix the flours, salt and baking powder.  Turn the speed of your mixer to the lowest setting and add the flour mixture.  Mix until the flour is incorporated.  Stir in the chocolate chips.  Place scoops of cookie dough on a cookie sheet and bake for 13 minutes.  Allow to cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet before removing to a cooling rack.
