Better Chocolate Chip Cookies.


1/2 cup Earth Balance
3/4 cup cane sugar
1 Tbsp molasses
egg replacer equivalent of 1 egg (I used half a banana this time.)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional, but it's delicious)
1/2 - 3/4 cup chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 350° F. Beat Earth Balance and sugar until fluffy.  Add the molasses, banana (or other egg replacer) and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Sift together dry ingredients and add to wet ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 10-13 minutes and move to a cooling rack.

I was craving chocolate chip cookies this week like you wouldn't believe. And I didn't want to make that one recipe that never ever turns out the same for me again. I also didn't have ener-g egg replacer or flax seeds on hand that I found suggested in other recipes - thus the banana and my first(ish) own cookie recipe!

They good. Real good.




On a side note, I had an awfully silly week.  What was better about today? Putting sweet fenders on my bike (aka no more wet butt), getting my hands in some flour, actually finishing homework, drinking too much coffee, and finally listening to In the Face of War again.
