I’m currently on a sugar bender that I am about to get off from.
Last week, I wrote about Vanilla Cinnamon Coffee Cake and now we have chocolate chip cookies. I thought I would give you the sweet and naughty stuff before I go back to healthy good for you recipes (yes, even vegan chocolate chip cookies are bad for you. Bummer, I know).
Enjoy – because next week it’s nothin’ but quinoa and veggies, baby.

Hey! In looking for a vegan cookie recipe, Pinterest led me to a repost of one from your site! Cool, huh?! Just wanted to say hi! Love your site.

How awesome!! Thanks so much!! :)
Hi! I was just wondering how much brown sugar to use. The ingredients only say 3/4 cup sugar, but the directions include brown sugar. I’m excited to try some delicious vegan cookies. The ones I’ve had so far have only been subpar.
Hi Aurora –
aghhhh!!! This is totally my mistake!
It is 3/4 cup sugar in total (regular sugar, no dark sugar)
I will make sure this gets clarified.
Let us know how they turn out!
