    These are amazing and I love that the recipe is halved so I don’t over indulge too much! I’m using these as lactation cookies to help my supply, if I can keep my husband away from them!

    Hi Wendy, I just saw these awesome looking cookies on the Earth Balance website–quick question, what exactly did you use for your egg replacer for this batch? Because they look so great! I eat a plant-based diet and my baked goods are not exactly successful. I’ve used flax eggs and Ener-G egg replacer and things come out flat…I also use Earth Balance so it could be something I’m doing there with temperature of the sticks…any advice/tips? Thanks so much!!!

      Hi Julie…thanks for stopping by. 🙂 I use Ener-G as my egg replacer. I haven’t had any problems with it yet. Let me know how the cookies turn out for you. 🙂

    I cant wait to make these! I love coconut in my chocolate chip cookies but Janice does not like coconut so I couldnt make them with coconut when the kids were little, but I do now! My favorite cookie is oatmeal, so why haven’t I thought about combing all three? YUM
