We made them right after your delicious lentil soup. Last year my four year old developed a few severe food allergies. Among them are egg and wheat. His favorite dessert used to be my classic chocolate chip cookies. Since we nixed those ingredients (and all the dairy in the house too) I haven't made anything close to my classic cookie recipe. We tried once but they turned out flat and funny tasting. These chocolate chip cookies turned out looking almost identical to my old recipe (which had the children excited) and we all agreed they taste even better! So thank you. It makes my heart happy to serve my little guy his favorite treats when he is excluded from so many others. :) These a cookies are amazing. We made them right after your delicious lentil soup.

I loved your photography as well and your narration, what a joy to read. But these cookies, they are the real winner. I've been craving choc chip cookies but with many failed attempts to satisfy the type of cookie I was craving I was starting to loose hope. Till I found this recipe!! I love that there are no gums and I like that they are vegan even though we do eat eggs. I made a couple changes to make it work better for me. I used sweet brown rice flour that I ground myself, I used 1/2 cup honey and 5 drops of stevia in place of the other sweeteners and I only used 1/4 cup of earth balance. My cookies were done at 9 minutes but were so soft that it was hard to eat without breaking even after cooling. So the second round I did 11 minutes and they were perfect!! These are so moist and chewy while still be crisp on the outside just like you said. Amazing!! Thank you so so much!!! These cookies are amazing!!!

I'd love to get together with you & see how you do your photos too. (You do great photography.) Maybe one of these days I'll get around to doing a post on what I've been learning about photography through much trial & a lot of error. I'm with you about the fat thing. I've really adjusted my thinking on this over time, as I've realized it's OKAY to sometimes have fat in my recipes. I'm not overweight, I don't have heart disease. Plus, some recipes just have to have a bit. I think we’d be great real life friends Leann! I’d love to get together with you & see how you do your photos too. (You do great photography.)

I would love to see how you take photos and process all of your photos. It must take you forever. I'm with you on the oil - I try to cut it out of recipes that don't need it, but something things just need a bit of fat! And I'm okay with that :) Gawsh, it’s all so beautiful!

That was just a slip on my part. No, vanilla, most definitely needs to be in there. Such an important ingredient, the vanilla is. I can't believe that escaped my notice (problem with being your own editor). Thank you thank you for being so stellar & letting me know. I'll get that fixed pronto.
