Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

I tweaked a recipe today to make these vegan.  And they turned out great!

VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1 1/3 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 flax "eggs" (2 T. flax meal + 6 T. water)
2 t. vanilla
4 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
12 oz. vegan chocolate chips

Mix up flax "eggs" in bowl and refrigerate for 5-10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375.

Cream shortening and sugars.  Add flax "eggs" and vanilla and mix.  Add 1 c. of flour, baking soda, and salt and mix.  Then add second cup of flour and mix.  Then mix third and fourth cups of flour.  Can add 1-2 Tbsp of water if needed if dough becomes too dry.  Finally, mix in chocolate chips.

Drop 1" balls of dough onto cookie sheets.  Bake 10-12 minutes, until cookies are just barely turning golden.  Cool on racks.  Enjoy!!
