Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

A vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe by definition would be a recipe that excludes eggs, dairy products and any other ingredient resulting from animals. This recipe uses a grade B maple syrup to sweeten the cookie, as animal products are used in the refining process of regular sugar. It is mostly used as table syrup, however, the strong maple and caramel flavoring in it make it ideal for richly flavored chocolate chip cookies, and it is quite often used in baking. The really great thing about using a vegan recipe is that being egg free you have no worries about salmonella and can freely eat the raw dough without worry!
