December 10--Advent at ADAFT 2012!

Today the ScandinaVegan brings you what B's mom deemed "The Best Cookies in the World". They're great at Christmas time or any other time of the year!

(recipe adapted and veganized from Nigella Lawson)

Cranberry-Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup rolled oats
1 stick and 1 T softened margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 flax "egg"
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup roughly copped pecans or walnuts
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, baking powder and oats in a bowl. In another bowl, beat together margarine and sugars until creamy. To make the flax "egg", combine 2 T ground flax seed and 3 T warm water, and let sit until goopy. Voila! You are a vegan superstar. Add "egg" and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients, then fold in the cranberries, pecans, and chocolate chips. Drop dough onto cookie sheets by tablespoons and flatten slightly with a fork. Bake for approximately 15 minutes. Makes about 3 dozen.
