Who's Ready for Dessert?

Happy Halloween Eve!

Today I'm sharing my go to chocolate chip cookie recipe. This is a vegan version in case you are wondering. :) We really like these cookies a lot at the Hive, and if my husband, the cookie monster, approves then they are sure to please your family as well.

Ingredients:


2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter (vegan, we like the earth balance brand)

3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (vegan, we like the enjoy life brand)


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside for later.


Ava wanted to be my helper today...so she got to be in the pictures. :)


3. Using a mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, sugar, water, and vanilla until blended.





4. Add the flour mixture in a bit at a time until it is all incorporated.



Ava wanted to make our cookies orange since it is Halloween so we added food coloring this time. I've never added food coloring before...so I wasn't sure how it would turn out. 

This is where she stopped me, saying, "that's enough orange, mom."


Mainly, I think, she was just ready to clean the beaters.


5. Once all the flour mixture has been incorporated, stir in chocolate chips.


6. Scoop out dough with a spoon and place on your cookie sheet.


7. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. (I always bake for 10)

These make yummy crunchy around the edges, slightly chewy in the center cookies. 



Our batch today made 5 dozen cookies


Yummy! And now we have cookies for the week...or at least a few days. ;)



Let me know if you try out this recipe and how you like it. Now if you'll excuse me...I'm off to grab some dessert.
