Vegan Chocolate Carob Farina Nut Cookies

Chef tanecník!'s Note:

Scrumptious cookies that marry traditional chocolate chip, Greek Fenekias and middle eastern Mammouls. The whole wheat flour is a nice alternative to all-purpose and the farina adds lots of iron! *This recipe was adapted from Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Nut Cookies by [e-mail] at www.vegweb.com.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Oil a large baking sheet; set aside.

These cookies are amazing, I did change the recipe somewhat as I am not Vegan and have no idea what carob chips are. The first time I made these I simply doubled the chocolate chips and used regular milk, they were really good but they were too hard for my liking. The next time I made them I used brown sugar and they came out a little softer, next I'm going to try precooking the farina before adding it to the mixture, this should make them nice and soft.

I'm usually very unsuccessful with Vegan cookies, but these came out great. Crunchy and a really fun texture with the farina. Great recipe!

These were really good. I used quick oats instead of farina and left out the vanilla since I used vanilla soy milk. I think these would be amazing if almond butter was used in place of peanut butter. I got about a dozen cookies out of this recipe.
