With all the love surrounding me, I couldn't help but want to give it back...And I thought what better way than cookies!! Especially vegan cookies, which in my opinion are 150 million times better than not. Of course I couldn't sample them before I delivered them to my fabulous friends, but I was assured that they were DELICIOUS. I am happy to report, I am all recovered, and I tried one last nite...They really were DELICIOUS!
Love and light.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
From The Joy of Vegan Baking
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
Equivalent of 1 egg (I used flax seeds - 1 Tbsp ground flaxseeds with 3 Tbsp water mixed in blender or food processor)
1 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup natural peanut butter, smooth or crunchy (I used creamy)
1/2 cup non-hydrogenated, non-dairy butter (Earth Balance Whipped)
3 Tbsp non-dairy milk
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup non-dairy semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the over to 375 degrees. Line 3 cookie sheets with wax paper or use 3 non-stick cookie/baking sheets.
In a small bowl, combine the first three ingredients. Set aside. Grind the flaxseed and water in a blender/food processor until thick and creamy (looks almost like gelatin).
In a larger bowl combine all other ingredients except the chocolate chips. Beat at a medium speed with an electric mixer until well blended (I did it by hand...Good for those muscles!). Add the flaxseed/water mixture. Beat just until blended. Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips, and mix just until blended.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets. Flatten slightly in a crisscross pattern with the tines of a fork.
Back for 10-12 minutes, or until set and just beginning to brown. Do not overbake. Remove from oven, and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 3-5 minutes before removing to let cool on a wire rack.
Yield: 2 dozen cookies

Aww you have the best friends! How sweet of them to take care of you.
You did them a great favor in return. Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies have to be the best 5 words in the world.
That WAS very sweet how your friends cared for you! Those cookies seem like a wonderful thank you!
What a sweet way to say "thank you"-- literally!
So glad you are all recovered :o)
I love vegan cookie batter because there's no worry of egg-based illnesses. So, it is ok to yearn for a big scoop of your delicious looking batter...right?
But seriously--what a lovely thank you!
You are very lucky to have people like that in your life! It's so great that the people closest to you will come through & take such sweet care of you in the not-so-fun times.
And what a delicious "thank you!" I am really tempted to make those cookies right now... And there is no one here to talk me our of it!
I will take care of you any day! They really were probably the best cookies I have ever had in my entire life. What a nice surprise next to my bed :)
I love that cookie combination! Do you recommend The Joy of Vegan Baking?
Totally, Paulina! It's amazing! I also hear My Sweet Vegan is a great one for sweets/baking!
