Cherry and Chunk Chocolate Cookies (Vegan)

 

4 cups unbleached all purpose flour

5 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup granulated cane sugar

2 eggs or equivalent substitute

1 cup soymilk or dairy milk

1/2 cup canola oil

1/4 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup dried cherries or cranberries

4 ounce semi sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped into bite sized pieces, about 1

cup

1/2 cup walnuts or hazelnuts, finely chopped

nonstick spray

 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Measure the flour, baking powder, salt, and

sugar

into a bowl. Sift this into another bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs,

milk, oil, orange juice, and vanilla. Whisk to blend well. Pour over the dry

ingredients,

using a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl. Stir to combine. Stir in the

cherries,

chocolate chunks, and walnuts, mixing to combine. The batter will be thick.

Spray

2 to 3 cookie sheets with non-stick spray. Drop heaping teaspoons of batter onto

the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 1-1/2 inches between them. Bake for 12 to 14

minutes, or until just golden brown. Transfer the cookies to a platter. Cool

before

storing in a covered container for up to a week! Serve plain or with chocolate

frosting.

 

Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
