Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies!

The BEST chewy vegan chocolate chip cookies

I am by no means any sort of chef. In fact, the less cooking I do, the happier I am:) We have a great system down in our household…my boyfriend cooks and I clean up after. No complaints on either end. However, when it comes to BAKING, I’m all in. I found this awesome recipe from Hell Yeah, It’s Vegan!–cool name for a site, right? This is about the 5th time I’ve made these cookies and they have been a complete hit each time. Even when I burned a batch at our Super Bowl party, yup, all the charred and crispy cookies were DEVOURED!

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 c brown sugar
  • ¼ c maple syrup
  • ½ c oil (I use coconut oil..it comes in a more solid consistency so pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds before mixing)
  • ¼ c applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 c flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • dash nutmeg
  • 1½ c chocolate chips (I found these dark chocolate vegan chips at whole foods)
  1. In a large bowl, beat together sugar, syrup, and oil. It will become smooth and even in consistency after a little while; don’t skimp on this step!
  2. Beat in vanilla and applesauce.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, soda, salt, and nutmeg.
  4. Add dry mixture to wet; mix well.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Form into 1″ balls (or whatever size you prefer) and bake on greased sheets at 350 degrees for 6-10 minutes.

A note on the oil: I’ve been really big into coconut oil recently. Here’s a little excerpt from Dr. Oz that’s pretty convincing:

Coconut fats have special fats called medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). It has been shown that breaking down these types of healthy fats in the liver leads to efficient burning of energy. One 2009 study found that women who consumed 30 milliliters (about 2 tablespoons) of coconut oil daily for 12 weeks not only did not gain more weight, but actually had lowered amounts of abdominal fat, a type of fat that is difficult to lose, and contributes to more heart problems.

Yay to skinny abs! You absolutely NEED healthy fats to help break stuff down. You can buy coconut oil with a slight flavor (I prefer this…I LOVE the taste of coconut) or you can buy it unflavored and still get the benefits.

Make sure you mix the oil, sugar and syrup well! Also, it’s best to go for a good high-end maple syrup. Better for it to be pure than a syrup with lots of added ingredients.

This is definitely my favorite step! And what’s so magnificent about this recipe being vegan…you can eat the dough! That’s right, since there’s no eggs involved (applesauce is what replaces the eggs) you can get down on your tasty vegan goodness before it goes in the oven!

Voila! Why not try your vegan cookies with a little almond, hemp, coco or soy milk? Or add the dough to some cashew ice cream and make a shake–deeeelish!

It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! I’m Andrea Whitt, musician, artist, stylist and model. 
I get asked often about my pedal steel playing and thought I’d share a little of my musical journey.

My first instrument was guitar when I was 8. I was given an acoustic guitar for Christmas and by April I had taught myself a handful of songs that I had my friends sing along with me at my 9th birthday. That year I started playing viola, and went on to get my masters degree at University of Cincinnati CCM in viola performance. I was getting so tired of playing the same classical rep that I joined the jazz department. 
I moved to LA after college, and as a surprise to myself was able to support myself doing music full time. Except a gig as a spray tan artist, but that’s another story 🤣 A huge part of my musical career has been teaching private lessons, group classes and conducting youth orchestras. 

I played in rock bands, orchestras, did sessions, random gigs (many shitty ones) until I landed the gig with Shania Twain. I was hired as a violist and fiddle player. I purchased my first violin for this gig and went to local bluegrass jams to learn fiddle styles, definitely fell on my face every time. It was when I was in Shania’s band that I saw a pedal steel for the first time. I was obsessed. I immediately ordered one off of eBay and had it sent to my hotel room in Vegas. Being a Grateful Dead fan I decided the priority was to learn all of the iconic Jerry Garcia pedal steel solos. Note for note, I taught myself steel with all of Jerry’s signature licks.

Shortly after the Shania gig, I got hired to play in Zucchero’s band. A three year world tour to 48 countries. Even though I had only been playing steel for 3 years I got to perform on steel on a handful of songs every show. When you’re sitting at a new instrument in front of 20,000 people you learn fast!

Now pedal steel is just as much a part of my career as viola and fiddle. Thank you for supporting my journey, many of you have been following since my first steel post. I have lots of new announcements coming soon, thanks for joining me on this long strange trip!
