- Yield: 4-dozen cookies
Ingredients (10):
- 2 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or barley flour)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup nonhydrogenated margarine, at room temperature (Consider Earth Balance as an excellent alternative)
- 3/4 cup packed golden brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup soft silken tofu, drained (Blend until smooth for a smoother texture)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup nuts (Walnuts or pecans, preferably chopped)
Instructions:
- Slide the oven's temperature to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Preserve it for later.
- Using another mixing bowl, combine margarine, sugars, tofu, and vanilla. Beat it with a handheld mixer until it's light and fluffy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the bowl sides. Introduce the dry ingredients and beat well. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts using a spatula.
- Employ a 1-ounce cookie scoop or a large spoon to place scoops of cookie dough on the baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Bake till edges are golden brown (approximately 12 minutes).
- Transfer the cookies from the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool completely using a spatula. Keep them in an airtight container.
- Pro Tip: if it's a hot day, store the bowl of dough in the refrigerator between batches to prevent the dough from softening.
