Cookie balls
My dear friend Mari is having an awesome Dunkin Donuts coffee giveaway over at her blog Namaste. Go check it out now!!
We are having a small Christmas / Monday Night Football party tonight and I wanted to take the opportunity to try out a vegan dessert. I went through the ingredients I had in my pantry and decided on Lindsey’s Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I didn’t have agave so I just used the pancake syrup I had on hand. I think that was the only substitution I made, other than once again using my chunky applesauce instead of opening up another jar.
They tasted really good but the first batch came out looking more like balls, so I smooshed down the second batch to make them look more like cookies 
I can’t wait to try more vegan cookie recipes!
One thing I would like to invest in is one of those standing mixers. They are so expensive but I found that some of the ingredients in this recipe did not mesh together well and I wish I’d had a mixer like this one:
What is your favorite cookie recipe?

Oh dear, get a mixer!
I love mine. You can get them (cheaper) at Kohls when they arehaving a sale. And artisan is the kind I have and I love it. Paid about 200 for it and it is wonderful.
I have way too many cookie recipes I love – but anything with oatmeal in it – so I’ll have to try these!
Yes Kim, I am going to have to save up for it, I know it will be so worth it. Thanks I will have to check out that brand!
Thanks for the shout out!
those cookies look so good =) even if they turned out looking like balls hehe…
My stepmom has that mixer….one day I am going to snatch it lol
Thanks for trying the recipe! Glad you liked the taste! I kind of liked them poofy (or looking like balls haha), but if you want to make them a little flatter, next time you can use baking soda instead of baking powder. Baking powder makes them rise and baking soda makes them spread.
And yes – a KitchenAid mixer is awesome!! I love mine.
Although I just use a plain ol’ bowl and wooden spoon for this recipe. 
Happy vegan baking!
Thank you so much for the tip! I did not know that about baking powder v. soda, wow
