VeganMoFo IX: Chunk and All That Funk

Yo.  This cookie is spectacular.  This cookie is gonna kick all other cookies in the face.  This cookie is a perfect blend of sweet and savory.  This cookie is my homage to one of my favorite movies of all time: The Goonies!  Let's just skip to the part where I tell you that Chunk is one of my favorite characters and the Truffle Shuffle is absolutely my favorite moment.  Without further adieu...

perfectly chewy.  perfectly adult.

Truffle Shuffle Chocolate Chunk Cookies

(makes 2 dozen)

1 cup non-hydrogenated vegan margarine

¾ cup granulated sugar

¾ cup brown sugar, tightly packed

1 Tbsp arrowroot powder

¼ cup non dairy milk

2 tsp vanilla

2 ¼ cups unbleached all purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 ½ cups chocolate chunks

3 Tbsp freshly minced rosemary

truffle salt to taste

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  In a large mixing bowl, cream the margarine and sugars with a hand mixer.  Add the arrowroot, non dairy milk, and vanilla and mix until smooth.  Sift in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Mix on low until just incorporated.  Fold in the chocolate chunks and fresh rosemary.  Roll dough into a ball using ⅛ cup for measurement.  Place 6 cookies on a sheet and slightly flatten with your hand.  Sprinkle with a small pinch of truffle salt.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden.  Cool on the cookie sheet for five minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack.

retro or retrNO?

Oh, and since today is technically retro recipe day, I thought I'd show you a crappy photo of what I ate for dinner last night.  In keeping with the retro theme, everything was prepackaged because I'm a working woman with NO TIME.  Haha.  White cheddar Earth Balance mac and cheese, California blend frozen vegetables, Beyond Meat chi'kn cooked in garlic coconut oil and rosemary.  Totally yum.  Totally meat, veg, carb.

This ends another entry!  If you try the cookies, please let me know how they go.  Happy MoFoing!
