Perfect Everytime Straight Up Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today I was CRUSHED by the discovery that my current crush is engaged...So, cookies. These are no frills, no nonsense cookies. They hit the spot, the sad spot. Luckily I had the dough pre-made in my freezer...Because I bake when I'm bummed and I've been bumming a lot lately :(

Ingredients
1/2 cup Earth Balance
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegan raw sugar


1 flax egg (1/4 cup unsweetened hemp milk + 1 heaping T finely ground flax meal, let it sit for 10 minutes)
1 t vanilla


3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup all purpose flour
heaping 1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t unbleached sea salt

1 t cinnamon


1 cup vegan chocolate chips

(Use frozen or chilled cookie dough, always. It makes the cookies so much better.)

Cream the margarine and sugars together in a large bowl. Fold in the flax egg and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet and mix well. Toss in the chocolate chips (and any other add-ins if you're going for frills...) and portion out the cookie dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet to freeze. I use a tablespoon measure to portion out the cookies.

When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet in parchment paper, place the pre-portioned cookies on it, and bake for 15 minutes. You will have perfectly sized, puffy chocolate chip cookies at the end...perfect for drowning your little sads in.
