Vegan cookies?? Yummy???

I have officially made...

Ready?

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies!  And oh boy are they good! 

As you may or may not know, I have personally abandoned the vegan lifestyle because I was gaining weight doing it.  Some may suspect that I actually had meat but that's entirely untrue! I was eating exactly what my husband was eating and no cheating!  He has lost almost 20 lbs and I'm very proud of him.  I have gone back to my regular way of eating but have modified portion sizes and have lost the couple of lbs that I've gained.

I've heard from other women who have tried the vegan thing and they have complained about weight gain as well which is kinda weird, dontcha think?  Also I found that I was eating a lot of carbs on the vegan thing which wasn't a good thing for my borderline diabetes.  That's one thing I really have to watch out for...and really all I have to do is lose weight!  So, I figure if I stick to 1200 calories and exercise, I'll be golden.  I've been using myfitnesspal.com and it's free and easy.  Hooray!

So, back to the Vegan Chocolate Chip cookies...

I used silken tofu for eggs, whole wheat flour and Earth Balance for butter...that's it! 

The thing about the whole wheat flour is that it makes the cookies smell a little "bready" but once you bite into them...mmmmm...so good....

Ciao!
