Pumpkin Ginger Chocolate Chip Cookies

-


The best cookies to make this season to impress your non–vegan friends!


            As the fall breeze continues to roll in, I have the irrepressible urge to bake all the vegan goodies and fill the house with warm cookie smells. Is it just me? Today I am sharing with you my new favorite fall cookie recipe. This recipe has pumpkin, because what is a fall dessert without pumpkin? It also has ginger, for that seasonal spice. The main attraction, in my opinion, is some ooey-gooey chocolate chips because no dessert of mine is complete without chocolate. However, you can leave the chocolate chips out if you are not a chocolate fan (aka you are crazy).
          This recipe is also PERFECT if you are going to a holiday party or having friends over and you want to impress them with a delicious vegan dessert. Honestly, you do not even have to tell anyone they are vegan because no one would ever guess! I highly suggest you pour yourself a glass of almond milk (or other non-dairy milk) and dip these babies into it. It changed my life! Let me know in the comments below if you try out this recipe and tell me what you (and your friends!) think of it.


You will need:
v 3/4 cup of vegan butter (I use Earth Balance)
v 1 cup of sugar (+more for rolling)
v 2 cups of vegan chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life)
v 1/4 cup of Pumpkin
v 1/4 cup of molasses
v 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
v 2 teaspoons of ground ginger
v 1 teaspoon of baking soda
v 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
v 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
v 1/4 teaspoon of salt 
/
Directions:
1.     Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2.     In a large bowl with an electric mixer, mix together the butter (softened) and sugar until creamy and fluffy.
3.     Mix in the pumpkin and molasses to the bowl until well combined.
4.     In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and spices. Then, add them into the mixture until everything is well combined.
5.     Fold in the chocolate chips.
6.     Using a spoon or 1-1/2" cookie scoop, roll the dough into balls and coat well with additional sugar.
7.     Place the balls onto a cookie sheet (I lined a baking sheet with parchment paper) about 2" apart.
8.     Bake the cookies for approximately 10-13 minutes. Watch them well.
9.     Let them cool on the cookie sheet until they firm up a bit, then you can move them to a cooling rack.
10.   Eat and enjoy! <3

    Would these still come out okay if I substitute maple syrup for the molasses?

Healthy & Flavorful Vegan Meals

Sometimes it can be helpful to meal prep for the week, especially if you are typically really busy. Here are some recipes that may be good for you if you want to make some good meals for yourself and your loved ones. One meal you could do is take some of the Gardein Chicken tenders and bake those. You can put them over some rice or shredded veggies with some seasoning. I usually put a lemon on the side to add some extra flavor. Another thing that I typically put lemon on is some fishless fillets by Gardein. I had this with some cauliflower rice with lemon and garlic to flavor it. I also decided to have some zucchini on the side for extra vegetables. Another meal I love making wraps with some tortilla chips. For this above, you can stuff a tortilla with cucumber, tomato, hummus, and any other veggies that could be added. This is a great meal that can be healthy but filling. I like to have tortilla chips and salsa on the side as well. The last one that I want to sha

Veganism and Animals: Does veganism really help animals?

With all of the greener lifestyles that are being adapted all around the world there are tons of questions about exactly what veganism is, and exactly how it pertains to animals. For the vast majority of people it is extremely important to realize that you simply cannot make a sudden change like shifting from eating burgers every day to living a successful vegan lifestyle overnight. However, it is also possible to make some substantial changes that are on the path to becoming vegan and showing animals the respect that you believe they deserve. Many people in the quest to treat animals better are appalled to learn that many countries use some rather unconventional animals as food; this for many people can be action that triggers their desire to change to a vegan lifestyle, however for others it is simply another reason in a long list of reasons. Many countries such as China make usage of animals such as dog for their meals and many times people are unhappy to learn this, how

Healthy Snacks

Sometimes when you are in a pinch it can be a bit of a struggle to eat healthy. Sometimes you run out of produce when you are out and may have to settle for some packaged foods. There are some better options to reach for when you want to get a snack. There are definitely some good brands out there that I love getting for when I have a busy work day. Some of these snacks can be good for dipping in salsa or hummus, or any other dip. A lot of these snacks shown also have other flavors in that kind that are also really good to try out. I love all of the products I have tried by a brand called The Daily Crave so far. I love eating these as a snack with some hummus or you could find any other dip that may go well with this. I enjoy any sort of spread that can be eaten with this and you can also top it with some veggies as well. There are also some other really good flavors including tomato basil, barbeque, salt and vinegar, and sriracha. They have veggie, lentil, and quinoa ch
