Vegan Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies

It's gets cold outside and I suddenly need to bake. Tonight I made Chocolate Chip Cookies. I've got this recipe down so I don't even screw around with trying others anymore.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here is the Tollhouse Cookie recipe veganized:

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Set aside.

1 - most semi-sweet chocolate chips are vegan but double-check the ingredients.
2 - I bake 2 dozen and the roll the rest of the dough into 1 inch balls and put them on plates in the freezer. When frozen, move to a freezer bag. Then anytime you want a cookie, put it on a cookie sheet and bake about 15 min or so, until done.

Triple Ginger Cookies

These are the best cookies I have made in a while. I was worried about the amount of lemon zest called for. I was afraid it was going to overpower the ginger cookies, but it was the perfect balance- just a light lemon undertone. They are nice tiny little spicy gingersnaps. Yum.

The recipe is from 101 Cookbooks. I used Ener-G egg replacer in them and Earth Balance Margarine.
