It's hard to make good vegan cookies. I almost never trust recipes and instead look up older, tried-and-true non-vegan recipes and substitute ingredients. I modified another recipe to make these, and they were fantastic. Seriously, just the right combination of sweet and chewy and oozy. Cherries are a bit more expensive than raisins, but I think they really made the cookie.
1 cup Earth Balance, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup organic white sugar
2 Ener-G egg replacer equivalents
2 t. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
3 cups oats
1 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chunks (or just regular vegan chocolate chips)
1 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup dried cherries
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Start by sifting the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. In a separate bowl, cream the Earth Balance and sugars together, then stir in the egg replacer and vanilla extract. Slowly stir in the flour mixture until a dough forms - be wary of overmixing! Stir in the oats then add the chocolate chunks, walnuts, cherries, and stir until well combined.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls (I like big cookies!) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes then allow to cool on a baking sheet. They'll harden significantly once they cool down, so don't be afraid of taking them out too early.
Enjoy!
