Foodie Flicks: Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
While there's no chance in hell that I'm going to give up my beloved meats, cheeses, and other animal products, I still like to mix it up with vegan food now and then. Some of it is just darned good -- rich soups, excellent salads, and some tasty dessert treats.
Above you can check out Everyday Dish's vegan chocolate chip cookies. (Get the exact measurements here.) Making use of a ton of pantry items, this looks like a great way to whip up some tasty cookies last-minute. They also fit into a lot of dietary restrictions -- you can used unrefined sugar and other types of flour. (I kind of wish I saw this recipe last week, when my chocolate-craving friend was over and in the midst of a refined sugar fast.)
If you try them, let us know how they turn out!

1Vegans? Refined sugar fasting?
Come on people.
If you do it to try and change the world, it's never going to happen.
If you do it for health reasons, try something a bit more drastic than cutting out animal protein, refined sugar et al.
Try just eating one cookie?
An appropriately sized steak?
Everything in moderation is the key to healthy living.
You mention that "some of it is just darned good -- rich soups, excellent salads, and some tasty dessert treats."
and at the same time declare you wont give up your animal products.
A vegan soup could never be as rich or as satisfying as one made with a meat/fish/poultry stock.
I'll give you the salad thing, because my salads are accidentally vegan just by my preference for leafy greens.
and as for desert, milk fat is your friend.
Maybe I am just grumpy today, but I don't see how vegan could compete in taste against the omnivore equivalent, even if it is really really good by vegan standards.
2Yikes, Alex!
One can love vegan ingredients and still enjoy meat and vice versa. The two aren't mutually exclusive. The same goes for vegan meals or dishes. Saying that a vegan meal can't be tasty is as ridiculous as a vegan saying that tofu tastes like pot roast.
4I'm an omnivore, but I cook vegan and vegetarian dishes all the time. They taste good. Meat also tastes good. The difference? Eating red meat, butter, and rich cheese at every meal is not good for you. Eating vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein is a better plan. I prepare meat (mostly fish, sometimes chicken, once in a blue moon beef or pork) about once a week; the rest of the time we have tofu stir fries, pasta dishes, salads, enchiladas, soups, casseroles, etc. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by eating fewer animal products than I used to, and it's better for me and for the environment.
