Choco-Pomegranate Cookies

Nate bought a pomegranate today, and I could think of nothing better than to smother these healthy little ruby seeds in dough and chocolate ;)
Enjoy!!
Recipe courtesy of the Coconut & Lime blog, 'veganized' by yours truly :)

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup vegan butter, at room temperature

1 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup
pomegranate seeds
1 eggs worth of egg replacer (I used Ener-G)
1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

6 oz semisweet chocolate chunks
we added 1/2 cup walnuts

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350. Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a medium sized bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg replacer and vanilla and combine thoroughly. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sweetened butter and mix until a very thick dough forms. Use a spoon to fold in the chunks then the pomegranates and distributing both evenly. Form cookies by dropping 1 heaping teaspoon of dough on the sheet two inches apart. Flatten slightly then bake until light brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on wire racks (if you can wait that long) then serve with plenty of cold 'liquid-of-choice' (we had soy milk).

I may have sent you to this website, in hopes of showing you that people who give up animal products can still eat wonderful and delicious food! What does a vegan eat? I'll tell ya.... Hopefully everyday I will write about my meals....and any other food thoughts. Ok, now about me.... I live with my husband Nathan up in the Catskill Mountains of NY. We have a beautiful mountain-view property, with 22 rescued animals. This blog is meant to show how very busy, normal, passionate people, can still eat yummy foods...in large amounts- all while being healthy and VEGAN! :)
