What are your favorite vegan cookie recipes?

I am going to a political rally Friday and would like to bake cookies for the fellow supporters I meet there. I made up a wonderful vegan brownie recipe that I use all the time, but haven't had the time to come up with my own cookie recipe yet. I am not a vegan, but I do like to bake vegan and allergy-free (no nuts) treats to take to events. People seem to appreciate it. Thanks in advance for the recipes!What are your favorite vegan cookie recipes?
Cranberry-Oatmeal cookies are delicious and have whole grains, too.





3/4 cup earth balance or other margerine


1/3 cup raw sugar


3/4 cup raw brown sugar


1 tsp vanilla


1/2 cup soy milk


1 cup flour


1/2 tsp baking soda


1/4 tsp ginger powder


1/4 tsp cloves


1/2 tsp cinnamon


1/4 tsp nutmeg


3 cups rolled oatmeal


1 cup dried cranberries





Make the way you do with typical cookies- mix the wet ingredients, add the dry ingredients, and stir in the oats and cranberries last. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes. All your friends will love them.What are your favorite vegan cookie recipes?
The Sparkled Ginger Cookies from Vegan with a Vengeance are easy and delicious. I made a batch last night.





4 Tbsp turbinado or demerrara sugar (regular sugar will work, but coarse is best)


2 c all-purpose flour


1 tsp baking soda


1/4 tsp salt


2 1/2 tsp ground ginger


1/2 tsp ground cinnamon


1/2 tsp ground cloves


1/2 c canola oil


1/4 c molasses


1/4 c soymilk


1 c sugar


1 tsp vanilla extract





Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease two cookie sheets. Place turbinado sugar in a small bowl.





Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and spices. In a separate large mixing bowl, mix together oil, molasses, soy milk, sugar and vanilla. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and combine well. Roll into 1 inch balls and press into the turbinado sugar. Place on cookie sheet and flatten into 1 1/2 inch disks, 1 inch apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, let cool on cookie sheets for 3 to 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
I've tried a LOT of vegan cookie recipes over the years, and this one is my favorite:





Veganized Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

(There is one typo.. 21/4cups should be 2 and 1/4 cups)





I use the Whole Foods brand of vegan chocolate chips. Ghirardelli is another good brand -- the semi-sweet ones are vegan.





Happy baking! It's nice of you to make treats for the protestors :)
