Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies

Okay nothing heals like baking, I promise. After making these, I stripped my daughter down to her diaper and we sat on the kitchen floor and ate these. We had a good time, our bellies were full and the floor was a mess. perfect. Here you go, I will do my best to remember measurements but some may need to be adjusted!

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup Earth Balance "butter" or use margarine
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Ener-G egg substitute (it is 1 1/2 teaspoons powder + 2 tablespoons water mixed then added to ingredients)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • about 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • semi sweet chocolate chips as many as you want!
Preheat oven to 350 and cream sugars and butter together with a fork. Add egg replacer and vanilla extract and mix together with an electric hand mixer. In a separate bowl mix flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt with a spoon. Put the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix with electric mixer. Add the peppermint extract, almond butter and chocolate chips and mix until the almond butter isn't chunky anymore. Form into the size that you want on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for about 8-10 minutes depending on the size of the cookie! Let cool and enjoy!
