Vegan choc chip cookies

by Renee Halliday

I first started baking these cookies years ago when running the kitchen at a local whole foods cafe.  At the time I was milling my own almonds as opposed to using almond meal, and chopping the chocolate myself. A few years later when vegan treats were really becoming popular I decided to revisit the cookie recipe I had always loved, but decided to remove all animal products to produce a new vegan snack.  It was a success, they were and continue to be a HUGE hit.  Not just for the vegans either, everyone loves them!
I have been really reluctant to share this recipe in the past, but in light of our current circumstances, I feel it is the right time to share something special that, in my experience, brings so much joy.
I know some of you know me from my cookery background more so than on the yoga mat so it is my absolute pleasure now, to share a little piece of me.
Enjoy
