Jan 25th - Leftovers & Chocolate Chip cookies

Last week was a disaster as far as posting what's for dinner!  Work started for me and things have been a bit crazy too.

Tonight we are having leftover gumbo (see an earlier post for that recipe!)

Here is my recipe for these awesome non-dairy chocolate chip cookies:

Chocolate Chip Cookies

½ cup shortening
½ cup earth balance or similar butter sticks
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
¼ soy milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 ¼ cups flour (1 ¼ unbleached flour, 1 cup whole wheat)
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
6-12 ounces choc chips
Nuts optional

Cream butter/shortening & sugars.  Scrap down and slowly add soymilk while beating.  Add vanilla, salt, baking soda. Mix and then add flour.
Mix in chocolate chips and/or nuts.
Drop by teaspoon full onto cookie sheet.  Bake about 11 minutes at 350.
