What are your favorite vegan cookie recipes?

Question by Mountain Girl: What are your favorite vegan cookie recipes?
I am going to a political rally Friday and would like to bake cookies for the fellow supporters I meet there. I made up a wonderful vegan brownie recipe that I use all the time, but haven’t had the time to come up with my own cookie recipe yet. I am not a vegan, but I do like to bake vegan and allergy-free (no nuts) treats to take to events. People seem to appreciate it. Thanks in advance for the recipes!

Cranberry-Oatmeal cookies are delicious and have whole grains, too.

3/4 cup earth balance or other margerine
1/3 cup raw sugar
3/4 cup raw brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup soy milk
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ginger powder
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3 cups rolled oatmeal
1 cup dried cranberries

Make the way you do with typical cookies- mix the wet ingredients, add the dry ingredients, and stir in the oats and cranberries last. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes. All your friends will love them.

Q&A: Recipes for Healthy Meats Besides Chicken or Fish?

Question by annabanana4883: Recipes for Healthy Meats Besides Chicken or Fish?
I just started cooking a year ago, and I love cooking “healthier” food–not necessarily rice cakes and spinach leaves, but not super greasy or goey with sugar and cheese either.

I have a subscription to Kraft’s recipe magazine, and have my grandma’s recipes, but most of them use chicken and fish. While I understand the importance of both, I’m looking to expand my “menu” a bit.

Does anyone have any recipes for any meat (besides chicken and fish) that aren’t too difficult? Thanks!
