Chocolate Chip Cookies: Vegan, No Sugar, can be No Wheat

These are GOOD! You will love them!

Chocolate Chip cookies

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour or whole wheat pastry flour
(for wheat-free, substitute:
1 tsp xanthan gum
2/3 cup brown rice flour
2/3 cup sorghum flour
2/3 cup tapioca flour)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
scant 1⁄4 cup honey/sugar/agave syrup/maple syrup/your choice
1⁄2 tsp sea salt
1⁄2 cup pure maple syrup
1⁄2 tsp blackstrap molasses
2 – 3 tsp pure vanilla extract
1⁄2 cup canola or grapeseed oil
2⁄3 cup non-dairy dark chocolate chips
walnuts

Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). In a bowl, sift in the flour, baking powder, soda and salt, and stir until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup and honey with the molasses and vanilla, then stir in the oil until well combined. Add the wet mixture to the dry, along with the chocolate chips and walnuts, and stir through until just well combined (do not overmix). Place large spoonfuls of the batter on an oiled baking sheet and flatten a little. Bake. Eat!

    You will love them! I made them last night, and spaced out the molasses. They turned out great, so that was funny!

    These are not vegan. HONEY comes from bees!!!!

  • Steph Davis

    You’re right Missy! Just sub out more maple syrup for the honey, and you will be all good :) Thanks for noticing, and I hope you enjoy :) Steph

    Um… Honey comes from PLANTS. Bees are just the vehicle for the transformation. They do what we do, take vegan ingredients, make something, it still comes out vegan. Plus, they don’t get hurt or anything. Bee Honey, technically is Vegan, regardless of what uneducated vegans will try to tell you.

    hey, for how many cookies is this recipe?

    Thanks =)

  • Steph Davis

    It depends how big you make them, but about 24 small ones.

    Chris, I myself am not a vegan, but some of my friends are and none of them would eat honey since bees actually make it. You say that they don`t get hurt when they make honey, well cows are also not slaughtered after they give milk, does that mean milk is vegan?

    I just made these… I added about 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg and used almond oil. I baked them for about 7-10 mins…. and results:  OMG. SOOOO GOOD! Thanks so much for the recipe!

    those sound like good tweaks, I will have to try that!

     There is a school of thought that the bees can be harmed if too much honey is taken. They do, after all, make it to feed their larvae and the queen. Some people believe that colony-collapse-disorder is connected to commercial beekeepers taking honey and replacing it with sugar water.
