Happy Holidays everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas and enjoyed spending time with their loved ones as much as I did. If your Christmas was anything like mine, you ate, ate, & then ate some more. Today's recipe is one that I found in a cookbook my mom had hidden away at her home. The recipe was quick and easy to make but the best part of it all is that it's almost vegan - ALMOST. But it can easily be made into an all vegan recipe; matter of fact the recipe was for a vegan cookie, I just altered it a bit. All that aside, it is an amazingly awesome cookie that tastes like a citrus chocolate burst as described by the hubs. Try making them for your new years eve party or any party and share your thoughts with us! After doing all this eating, can you guess what everyones new years resolution is in my house?!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup canola oil
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp pure orange extract
1/3 cup soy or almond milk
1 TBSP maple syrup (I used light agave nectar)
2 & 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks (I used 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate but will use 1 cup next time)
Zest of 1/2 of an orange (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Combine the oil, sugar, extracts, soy milk, & maple syrup.
3. Sift in flour, baking soda, & salt.
4. Stir in chocolate chips until evenly incorporated. The dough will be VERY sticky!
5. Spoon tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Flatten slightly and bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom and baked all the way through.
7. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
8. Enjoy!
