So, as I've mentioned before, our CSA is through our local university, and it's run by students. They're awesome kids and they do a great job, so I decided since I'm always take, take, taking, I should give back in our relationship. I made them vegan peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips. The chocolate chips were made out of a Mayan dark chocolate bar that I chopped up. The spicy chocolate was really, really good with the peanut butter. I got the recipe from ChooseVeg.com, and I modified it by adding cinnamon, the chocolate chips, and enough unsweetened coconut milk to make it not as crumbly, it was quite dry even before I added the chocolate. Here's the recipe-
Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies
* 1 1/2 cups flour
* 1 cup peanut butter
* 1/4 cup oil
* 3/4 cups sugar
* 1 tsp. vanilla
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, roll the dough into 2-inch balls, place on an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes. Could it get any easier?

These are about 2 inches in diameter, and they came out crumbly on the outside but moist on the inside. I definitely suggest adding whatever milk sub you like to use. Bobby and I each had two, and then I packed up the rest to take to the CSA gang. I don't know about anyone else, but it's always nerve wracking for me to make sure that if I'm going to make food for someone, it needs to be *good*, so maybe it will plant a seed of "hmm... that tastes awesome, cookies don't need milk/eggs/butter at all!". There are already so many misconceptions for vegan/vegetarian food being bland, or "missing something". This recipe was simple and quick, and it's going in the keeper file.
