Over easy.

Vegan Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies

All amounts are best guesses, I didn't measure a thing. This was a small batch, since one of the silpats is dirty from roasting potatoes for dinner. These cookies are crisp and crumbly.

Pre-heat over to 350.

1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup (grade b)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup Scharfenberger 60% chocolate, cut into chunks
1/3 cup walnuts (don't bother chopping)

In kitchenaid, blend butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Should look like the beginning of cake frosting. Add walnuts, add flour a bit (1/4 cup or so) at a time. Try to minimize the mixing once the flour is added. Occasionally stop blender and use wood spoon to pick up the bits of flour at the bottom. Texture should be a bit crumbly. Add maple syrup until the crumbly mixture becomes moist, and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Mix in chopped chocolate. Spoon 1-2 tbsp cookies onto silpat, bake in 350 oven for 12-15 minutes.

Breakfast

Garden Fresh tomato and basil, with onion and garlic saute over top fried eggs and grits. Blackberries for sweetness.

Vegan Cardamom Shortbread

Adapted from Lord Krishna's Cuisine recipe.

== Pre Heat ==

Oven to 250 F.

== Ingredients ==

1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup earth balance margarine

1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 tbsp freshly ground cardamom (plus a few extra grinds)

1/4 tsp salt

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

== Do ==

Blend all together in blender.

Drop 1 tbsp of batter in a high walled bowl, spin a few times, transfer to silpat. (When I do this with other cookies, I put a bit of cinnamon sugar in the bowl, to get a thin crust of sugar on the top. This batter was so sweet, it didn't need it. But cardamom sugar would be a nice way to make this cookie even sweeter. )

== Cook ==

Bake 40 minutes.

== Watch ==

Batch of cookies disappear with your favorite Darjeeling Tea.

Some of you may be wondering, why most of the other posts are vegan meals, but this is steak? The answer is, she's vegan but I am not.
