The Best Damn Chocolate Cookies Ever

So...I have this chocolate chip cookie recipe that, seriously, is the best damn thing ever.  I've been craving them recently because I haven't made them since ditching all things animal related.  I decided to try an vegan-ize the recipe this weekend.  And guess what?  They're just as good as ever!!

THE BEST DAMN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES EVER

Cream together:

1 c. Earth Balance vegan "butter" spread
1 1/2 c. shortening
3 3/4 c. brown sugar
6 T. almond milk
3 T. vanilla

Add and mix in well:

3 flax meal "eggs" (1 "egg" = 1 T. flax meal + 3 T. water)*

Add combined dry ingredients and mix well:

6 1/2 c. flour
1 T. salt
2 1/4 t. baking soda

Add and stir in with wooden spoon:

2 (12 oz) bags of chocolate chips (I use ghiradelli because they don't use milk fat)

Preheat oven to 350.  Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets.  Bake 12 minutes - until just barely golden and still a little gooey.  Cool on wire racks and enjoy!!

*It's best to mix up the flax "eggs" a few minutes before you start and let the mixture sit in the fridge to set up a little bit before you're ready to use it.
