Sensory Overload Cookies
My landlords are great. Every year they give all their tenants a little something for the holidays. A few years ago, when i was still vegetarian, they made cookies for us. These were the best cookies I had ever had in my life. I liked them so much that i asked them for the recipe. I never got around to making them and didn’t even come across the recipe again until I was already vegan. This weekend I decided to veganize the world’s best cookie. My friend referred to them as “sensory overload cookies” because they have a little bit of everything. And that is what I will call them from now on.
2/3 cup turbinado sugar
1/2 cup non-hydrogenated vegan margarine
2 tbsp soy yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup raisins
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together the margarine and sugar until fluffy.
3. Add soy yogurt, vanilla extract, flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
4. Fold in the rest of the ingredients.
5. Drop by tablespoonfuls spaced about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly browned.
7. Allow to cool before eating !
The vegan version is SO much better than the original. 
That is one wonderful cookie. The ingredients make me smile! And i also love how it’s even BETTER as a vegan cookie. Isn’t that usually the case!? Thanks for sharing. I’ll try it out sometime when i’m back from Canada, Liz.
My kind of cookie!
