Incredible "You Cant Tell They're Vegan" Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've eaten a lot of cookies in my day. There's been some winners, and some loosers. In my time as a vegan (which lasted only a short 6 months) i tried a few store bought vegan cookies, and maybe i had bad luck, but i was amazed at their flaws. Either too dry, or crumbly, or bland I was inspired to create the perfect vegan chocolate chip cookies. And i believe a few people can vouch for me that I succeeded.

The best part about these is that they have common ingredients that you can find at any grocery store, and they are easy to make =)

Ingredients:
1 Cup Vegan Margarine (Earth Balance has no hydrogenated oils)
1 3/4 Cups Brown Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla
Pinch Of Salt
Equivalent of 2 Eggs, I use 4 Tbsp silken tofu
2 Cups Flour
1 Tsp Baking Soda
2 Cups Vegan Chocolate chips (Look for generic store brands, semi sweet and dark, or the bulk section of your health food store.)

1. Preheat to 375°F. and line a baking sheet with foil, spray with your choice of non stick.
2. Cream (for beginners that means gracefully mash/mush) margarine with sugar until fluffy.
3. Add vanilla, salt, tofu, flour and baking soda. Blend well untill reasonably smooth.
4. Stir in chocolate chips and then spoon ping-pong ball sized balls onto baking sheet keeping balls approx 4-5 inches apart (the cookie will settle)
5. Bake for 9-12 minutes. (I have to take mine out at exactly 9 minutes! so keep an eye on them)

And there you have it. Just let them cook down a bit to harden, and enjoy warm with a glass of milk or soy milk =)

MMMmmmm!!!!!
