Late Night Baking - Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Late night study parties are inevitable in a suite full of college students. And late night cooking is inevitable in a suite full of foodies. Last night we tested a super chocolate-y vegan cookie. It's easy to mix up, bakes perfectly, and has both an amazing chocolate flavor and a great chewy tecture.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
(adapted from Veganomicon)

1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup cocoa powder
pinch salt

1/3 cup oil
3/4 cup vegan cane sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp flax or fiber blend
1/2 cup non-dairy milk
about 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Sift together the dry ingredients. Whisk together the wet in a separate bowl. Add wet to dry, stir well to combine and add the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoonfuls (this made about 16 cookies) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment (I use a Silpat) and bake for 10 minutes. When the cookies are done, the tops will have begun to crack, but the cookies will still be very soft. Let cool before removing from the tray.

Serve with a cold class of vanilla soy milk (EdenSoy is our new favorite brand after the Silk incident, but Whole Foods 365 is a bit more affordable, lower in sugar, and quite tasty. Some day soon we'll try making our own soy milk and tell you all about it - almond and rice milk are a bit easier to make, so we'll try to blog about that too.)
