Vegan Chocolate Chip Cat Cookies

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cat Cookie Tutorial

I had the opportunity to bake for the Cat Care Society's holiday bake sale, and I knew I wanted to make something extra special. My basic chocolate chip cookie recipe is incredibly easy, and incredibly easy to modify. I've used it as the base for heart-shaped chocolate chip cookies, double chocolate espresso cookies, raspberry ginger cookies, and maple bacon cookies. I thought kitty shaped cookies would be perfect.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cat Cookies

Basic Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 12-20 cookies, depending on size.

2 c unbleached all purpose flour (gluten-free all purpose flour mix works, too!)
1 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c chocolate chips
1 c sugar
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 c water

Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. Add chocolate chips. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix sugar and oil very well. Stir in water and vanilla until combined. Pour wet ingredients into the well in the dry ingredients and mix with a large fork or wooden spoon until combined, being careful not to overwork it.

For round cookies, scoop by heaping tablespoonfuls, roll into a ball, and flatten to 1/2 " thickness.

Place 1" apart on cookie sheet. Bake 11-12 minutes, just until cookies are no longer puffed up. Cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cat cookie instructions are below.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cat Cookie Heart

For each ear, scoop 1/2 teaspoon of dough without chocolate chips and press into corners of a star cookie cutter.

Adding Ears to Vegan Chocolate Chip Cat Cookies

Cut off the point of the heart, about 1/4".

Adding Ears to Vegan Chocolate Chip Cat Cookies

Gently press ears onto the head. Don't worry, these will stick when they're baked.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cat Cookies Before Baking

Add two chocolate chips for eyes.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cat Cookies Before Baking

Place 1 1/2" apart on cookie sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, until dough is firm. This keeps the cookies from spreading too much. The cookie below was made with unchilled dough, so if you like the way he looks, don't worry about refrigerating your cookies before baking.

Bake cookies 11-12 minutes, just until cookies are no longer puffed up. Cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Build-a-Boner Cake Tutorial

I firmly believe everyone should know how to make a quick penis cake.  Heh. Firmly. Pretty much appropriate for any occasion, right? Bachelorette party? Duh. Baby shower?

You will need: Eight cupcakes, day-old/refrigerated overnight Dick-worthy plate for display Bowl for collecting cake scraps Parchment paper to cover work surface Three bamboo skewers Pen or marker Serrated knife Flesh colored buttercream frosting Piping bag Flat decorator tip (I used Wilton 150.

Day-old cupcakes that have lost some moisture work really well and stand up to the serra...

Maple-Sweetened Extra Peanut Buttery No-Bake Cookies

Way back in the olden days, I co-owned a little coffee shop in Denver. The traditional version of these cookies was our best seller, and with good reason. THEY ARE DELICIOUS. But the sugar, butter, and milk in the o.g. recipe would probably kill me at this point. With my recent acceptance of my cane sugar intolerance (it only took five years), I modified the recipe to include pure maple syrup. Maple syrup is pretty expensive compared to cane sugar, so if you can tolerate sugar, you can sub in an equal amount of that instead. They were easily veganized by using Earth Balance in place of butter and almond milk in place of regular milk. I know I've said this before, but I think regular EB tastes weird, so I always use the soy-free stuff. Coconut oil would probably work just as well, but I haven't experimented with that. If you're trying to keep these free of cane sugar, use unsweetened almond milk, unless you're awesome and make your own nut milk and sweeten it w...
