Cowboy Cookies

vegan cowboy cookies















I found another wunderbar vegan baking discovery in the Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar cookbook. These monsters are hefty, crispy-on-the-outside-chewy-on-the-inside, and contain a few of my favorite things: coconut, pecans, and chocolate (vegan in this case). Oh la la!

I made cookies that are 3" in diameter and have just shy of three dozen with one batch. I bakes a dozen right away and froze individual cookie dough portions for easy baking at a later date.

Even though the recipe contains no eggs or butter, you would never know. My husband thinks this recipe is better than my Mom's chocolate chip cookie recipe - and that's saying a lot because that coveted recipe puts the Toll House to shame.

Dear Housewives Understudy, these cowboy cookies look awesome! I think your site is great because you offer vegans a variety of recipes that other sites don't.
OMG! Incredible presentation. Loved your site, very professional. Photos were crisp and clear. Recipes concise and easy to read. I shall be back for a bite of more.
Thank you for sharing.
