These cookies really are amazing! Using canola oil(good fat) instead of butter (not so good fat) they are a healthier alternative to satisfy your sweet tooth.I oonly used 1/2 cup raw sugar, and they are plenty sweet enough. I used 1/2 cup mini choc chips, and added 1/2 cup shredded coconut. Yummy!! This is my new fave. My very particular 8 year old even loved them!!

I also halved the amount of sugar (1/4 cup regular + 1/4 cup brown) and they were plenty sweet...If I ever make these again I will put in WAY less oil... the batter was absolutely swimming with grease (eww)... The end result was pretty tasty though... K^2

I've never had a problem making them. Sometimes you might need to add more flour. Everyone who has made them via vegancooking (on livejournal) loves them!! good luck!

i can't ever follow directions exactly: I used flax & water as egg replacer, and I added 1/4 C cocoa powder, and 1/4 C protein powder. I don't know what everyone is talking about saying they're too sweet. I think I added extra sugar cause it was so bland (maybe that had something to do w/the extra dry stuff I added?) I also added a little bit of soymilk. I don't know if it was cause of the protein powder or what, but they did not get any shorter while they were in the oven. They stayed exactly the same size. They tasted like chocolate chip brownies. They were so good. I have this recipe on my fridge now. I will use it often, I am sure.

Followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. Solid outside, soft gushy inside. I used Tropical Source chocolate vegan chips. Everyone in my house (including non-vegetarians) loved them.

I used egg replacer and they came out terrific! Two dozen cookies gone in less than 2 days! They were a strange consistency-I was concerned at first but I popped them in the oven and they were sooo good.
