Munchie Monday: Vegan Double Chocolate Cookies

Dear One has been agitating for sweets. I have been resisting.  Then I saw this recipe and thought I might give it a try.  After all, we are here at home with no big things tearing us away.  The problem with making cookies is that then you want to eat those cookies.  Not good.

Vegan Double Chocolate Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line a cookie sheet with Silpat or parchment paper or else grease it if you want. (There is no fat in these cookies so you really do want to do something to keep them from sticking...)

In a medium-sized bowl place:
 3/4 cup almond flour (I used the flour leftover from making almond milk which I had dehydrated then ground in the blender.  Worked great.)
1/3 cup Hershey's cocoa powder (NOT hot chocolate mix.  Use unsweetened cocoa powder.)
3 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 cup water
Several tablespoons dark chocolate chips

Stir everything well then add the chocolate chips.

Use a cookie scoop, unless it breaks on you, to spoon out the batter.  This is a pretty heavy dough.  I pressed lightly on the tops then baked them for about 15 minutes.  I started checking at 10 minutes but finally decided to pull them out at 15 minutes.

Next time, if there is a next time, I will add a little more sugar.  (The reason I say this is that Dear One did eat the cookies, just not all in one sitting.  I think it is that they are not very sweet.) The original recipe called for coconut sugar or some such thing.  We did not have any, though I thought we did. I must have left it in Vermont.  I hope so because otherwise I don't know where it is.
