I love a good batch of cookies. And I like mine extra chewy. I needed to find an easy vegan cookie recipe for my wonderful friend, and I came across this one here! And let me tell you, it is amazing. Well it doesn’t help that I forgot the cookies when I met my friend, so she got them late, and with half as many. Hmmm, let’t just say the kid ate them.
{I made a few substitutions from the original… used cranberries, increased cinnamon, and used coconut oil}
