On cold snow days like today.. I won't stop cooking.. I love the house warm, and full of aromas..

so today.. I made vegan chili ( just replace meat with vegan ground "beef")..   pure over cooked linguine noodles
made buttermilk salad dressing using a recipe from The Gentle Chef.. topped salads with that...

and dessert.. COOKIES.. here's the recipe for the cookies:

2 cups unbleached flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon 

3/4 cup  organic raw sugar

mix together….

in another bowl, mix together :

non vegans.. 1/2 Cup of  your favorite margarine softened.. OR oil..( NOT olive though)

**vegans...1/2 Cup vegan margarine softened ( such as Earth Balance)**

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup  almond milk.. 

mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients….

add chocolate chips.. regular if you aren’t vegan.. or get a vegan version if you are a veghead like me ;)

roll spoonfuls of dough into small round balls, then flatter just a tad on top..

bake at 350degrees for 10 minutes.. no longer or bottoms will burn..

remove immediately to a cooling rack to cool ( IF you can leave them alone.. I can’t!)

If anyone tries these and loves them.. please let me know  :)
