You Won't Believe These Cookies Are Vegan

I grew up with these cookies, mama raised me a good lil' pescetarian until 2006 when I became a vegetarian and 2010 when I went all the way. But once I became vegan I COULDN'T EAT THESE COOKIES ANYMORE! #FirstWorldProblems. Anyhoo-my sister Aja, who was vegan for a bit (she has since converted to the Dark Side but we don't talk about that) had created a fake egg recipe and well, huzzah! Oh and you can find the chocolate chunks here. Aside from the fake egg, this recipe is naturally gluten-free too! So if you don't eat gluten then find a different fake egg recipe and eat these like crack cuz they'll be the best cookies you've ever had!


You will need the following:

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 3/4 cups vegan sugar
  • 1 pinch baking soda
  • 1 fake egg
  • 1 bag of vegan chocolate chips (or 2 boxes of chopped Baker's chocolate)
The Procedure
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit 
Mix everything except the chocolate chips together in your electric mixer until thoroughly blended
Toss in the chocolate chips and mix until stirred in but not past-you don't want to crush them.
Spoon out the dough in generous tablespoons and drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake until golden brown, 10-20min.

Enjoy with a glass of chocolate soymilk!
If you share these with people they seriously won't guess they're vegan, they're just that amazing

Freaking Kale. No One Likes Kale.

Kale sucks. My mom makes kale chips. They suck. Kale's the worst.
This is my accusing face

I'm saying all this as I sip a green smoothie, she won't tell me what's in it.
Oh. Damn.
Iroooonic. This smoothie has kale in it!
If you mix 2 leaves of kale in with your typical banana-soymilk smoothie you CAN'T taste it! I use my vitamix and it grins up the stalks really well so you don't even chew! Try it some time, it's good and good FOR you ;)

Your Basic Fake Egg

The credit for this miracle-worker goes to my sister, Aja (she's the ex-vegan who we hate now. Let's call her Gordon just to piss her off) made. This stuff doesn't work to bind together latkes or matzoh balls (sorry, fellow Jews :( ) but it's great for baked goods. Just use this whenever I say 'fake egg.' It's easier than buying egg substitutes anyways. It won't leaven as much as an egg but it'll leaven some and it'll bind.
The fake egg looks boring and kina like seafoam
so why not insert a pic of some punk chirren
frolicking in seafoam?

You will need the following:
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons water
The Procedure
Whisk everything together (don't overmix) until all fluid and combined.
Use whenever I call for 'fake egg' :)


Get it? They're fake eggs! LOL!
Sorry, bad puns
