Nutty, buttery, and cutlery
I made chocolate chip and pecan cookies! Mister Kyle’s moving into a new apartment this weekend (no more dorms, yay) and anyway we just like cookies.
I used a vegan recipe from my handy-dandy Teen’s Vegetarian Cookbook, but I used butter instead of vegan margarine. Hah! I like butter. Mister Kyle doesn’t. Oh well.
Last time I made these (with the help of Mister Kyle and Lizzy), we used coconut oil and it didn’t work very well. (Of course, it didn’t help that I burnt the cookies.) Coconut oil didn’t work well in our vegan pancakes, either. I hate coconut oil.
The ingredients: whole-wheat flour, brown sugar, butter, baking soda, baking powder, water, vanilla, pecans, and dairy-free chocolate chips. I only made half a batch, but it still ended up being 23 cookies (I guess I ate the 24th while I mixed them).
They’re good. The whole-wheat flour made them a bit too…wheaty, so next time I’ll probably use half white flour. Also, I wish I’d had more than an eighth-cup of chocolate chips.

even as a Vegan I will tell you Wheat Flour sucks. While it is generally okay to go half and half in waffles or even 3/4 wheat depending on the texture you want - cookies, muffins, brownies, and biscuits DO NOT LIKE OR WANT wheat flour - regardless of what the hippie cook book circles would like you to believe.
i think the happiness the comes from a non-wheat cookie is far better for your whole body than some piddly benefits of wheat flour.

you're a star britta. I myself looked at blosxom over the last few weeks, it is a nice package but in the end I decided to polish off my old php code, spruce it up, and roll my own.
