Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

So the other night I had the biggest craving for another ice cream sandwich – I went to my freezer and unfortunately I had eaten them all.

As I am living on a budget, and following it strictly now, I am not due to go grocery shopping until Monday. So what should I do. I didn’t want to break my money rules for an ice cream sandwich – even at $3 dollars those little breaks can snowball.

So what did I do – I decided to make my own and it was even better than a store bought cookie sandwich. This is the vegan cookie recipe I used to make my epic ice cream sandwich

Ingredients

1. 1/2 cup coconut oil not melted
2. 1/2 cup light brown sugar
3. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
4. 1 large egg (or egg replacement – I used a flax seed egg)
5. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6. 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
7. 1 teaspoon baking soda
8. 1/4 teaspoon salt
9. 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350C
2. Cream together coconut oil, sugars, egg (or egg replacement) and vanilla. Until Smooth.
3. In a separate bowl whisk flour, soda and salt together.
4. Slowly add your dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine with your hands (this is the most fun because you can lick the dough after!)
5. Fold in chocolate chips of your choice (next time I am using mint!)
6. Bake for 10 minutes, until soft golden brown
7. If making an ice cream sandwich – wait 10 minutes and add a scoop of ice cream to the middle of 2 cookies:)

Enjoy these cookies and keep em around – I like to have a treat a day and these are pretty fantastic ❤❤
