In the spirit of demonstrating that vegan baked goods can be just as good or better than the alternative (using eggs), D. decided to take advantage of the after-holiday sale on chocolate chunks. These cookies … well, they’re nearly gone, after the ravening hordes visited yesterday.
- 3 Cups Flour
- 1 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 Cups Sugar
- 1.5 Cups Margerine
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tbsp Instant Coffee
- 3 Tbsp Flaxseeds, Ground
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 1 tsp Orange Zest
- 1 bag Chocolate Chunks (12 oz)
- Cream butter and sugar
- Mix in wet ingredients and flaxseed
- Mix in dry ingredients
- Mix in chocolate chunks
- Shape into balls using a scoop or a pair of soup spoons, leaving the space of one ball between each cookie
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies
- Cool on a wire rack until set
The coffee and orange zest are subtle enough that you can’t really tell they’re there unless you’re told (we tested this on everybody who tried them). The chocolate chunks are just a bit sweeter than the cookies themselves, adding enough of a blast of sweet to make these interesting rather than over-the-top in terms of sugar. All in all, this is a good recipe to hang onto, and very addictive!

They don’t look or feel like they need any animal products, and as a member of said horde, I could have eaten many more! And if you put pix of that banana bread on the blog, I’ll have to try not to lick the monitor. 😆
Sorry for them being nearly gone.

Thanks for the recipe though and for the ginger cookies. These are sure to end up in my healthier cooking/baking rotation.
Look and sound good. 🙂
Just had another of your cookies at the dessert auction. I got outbid on the box, but I got a sample before they were gone. OMG those are good.
