I started eating vegan because I believe it is healthy. I feel better when I don’t eat meat or animal products. But just because I want to live a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean I don’t still want a treat now and then. The recipe that follows is perfect for that sweet tooth.
This recipe is the vegan answer to the basic chocolate chip cookie. It is sweet and chocolatey, but totally free of animal products. Serve them with a tall cold glass of nut milk and you will be a hero.
