Every cookie recipe I’ve tried lately has been “my favorite cookie recipe yet”.
I’m okay with that since it means we’ve been eating good cookies.
But there’s a new cookie on the block.
Because this batch I made last night are my new favorites cookies! :)
The best part?
They’re vegan and whole wheat. Crispy on the edges and soft in the middle, just how cookies should be. Just better for you!
Take that, 3-stick-of-butter-apple pie bars.
Also…these had to be vegan because I ran out of butter while making those apple pie bars. But either way – these cookies are delicious.

I’m about to try my hand at a recipe for s’mores cookies these afternoon! I will report back how they turn out!
oooh, Mama. these sound fabulous.. I love a crunchy AND soft cookie – I need to try these. I love the big chunks of chocolate!
I’m digging your cookies! I love cookies with whole wheat. Those chunks of chocolate are great and it’s vegan to boot! I made pumpkin-molasses the other night. I would say that is my favorite right now. It could have used some chocolate though.
Pumpkin molasses sounds good!
Never tried the “flax egg” thing but I have some ground flax seed so I’ll give these a try and let you know how I do.
Vegan cookies?! Be still my heart.
I know, right? And a Mama Pea comment on my post. Happy Friday to me :)
That sounds like my problem- everything I bake is my new “favorite ever”. Why can’t it work like that for vegetables?!
My newest fave are: Caramel Filled Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies
and my favorite old standy: Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies
But truth be told…I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like. :)
Those look SO good!
I just made some Oatmeal Cranberry cookies. Okay, so they were slice and bake but still, I turned on the oven! :)
i love the dark chocolate CHUNKS!!!
I’m all for healthy chocolate chunk cookies! :D
Yeah now I have something to bake sunday evening :-)
YUMMY! Those cookies look delish – must try! I have a really good cookie recipe on my blog. Here’s the link: http://foodfitnessandfun.wordpress.com/2010/10/01/peanut-butter-oatmeal-cookies/
no wonder you ran out of butter, both these nad the apple pie bars sound delicious :)
I really need to get around to trying out a vegan cookie..or vegan anything for that matter!
this flax egg thing fascinates me. i can’t wait to try it!!!
almond butter, pb, and chocolate…sounds perfect. I posted about dreenas homestyle cookies that I love so much!
Yum! They look perfect!
Mmm those cookies look divine! And nothin’ like a good vegan cookie :)
Yummm!!!
I gave up on cookies last year, they always come out super flat! Any advice? =)
Well, it can be from a lot of things! You may need to add a bit more flour. When I first moved here, my cookies were ALWAYS flat and I didn’t take the altitude into consideration since I’m still in the same state. But adding just 1/4 -1/2 cup more flour helps so much.
I’ve actually never made cookies with whole wheat flour – they look amazing – and insulin worthy! :D
Until…the next cookie arrives. lol. I love that you’re constantly whipping up “favorite” cookies. You can never have too many faves!
so good. I love the bigger chocolate chips or chunks (like you used). One of my new favorites: peanut butter flour chocolate chippers: http://itzyskitchen.blogspot.com/2010/09/peanut-butter-flour-chocolate-chip.html
I’m with Erica, a big chunk is always good – and vegan too! A winner.
