This is for you
Gravy ...FINALLY I GOT A CHANCE TO COOK SOMETHING!!!
Taken from foodgawker.com- which is a pretty good source for finding ideas (as long as the site isn't in another language that you cant read that is :P)-
which was posted originally in http://www.namelymarly.com/2011/05/.....ramel-cookies/ ...A vegan website :)
But folks: these cookies are SO freaking good, you wont even KNOW that they're vegan :P
Caramel sauce:
1 can coconut milk (NOT the lite variety)
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Cookies:
1 cup margarine softened - 2 sticks (if you are a full tilt vegan, I believe there are soy butters out there... update: seems my link didn't work but I know they're out there, nonetheless XD!)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup unsweetened natural applesauce* (I'll come to this in a moment)
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups dairy-free chocolate chips (yes, I even used these, and they taste JUST the same as the regular ones- you can find these in your health food section of your grocery store)
2 tablespoons sugar (I omitted, you really don't need it what with all the other stuff XD)
pinch of fleur de sel* (I didnt put this in, but, I think JUST a pinch over these, once its all cooked together will really make the flavors pop!)
To make the cookies:
1.) Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2.) In a large bowl combine sugar, brown sugar, softened margarine (or soy butter), applesauce and vanilla. Stir until well blended.
3.) In another medium sized bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
4.) Add the dry to the wet, gradually folding it all in with the dairy-free chocolate chips. NOW- I found that there was still too much flour and even when stirring, didn't quite blend as well as I liked. With that said, you'll definitely want to add another 1/2 cup of the applesauce to get it to your desired consistency. (The recipe also calls for regular sweet applesauce...but...really...its sweet enough :P)
5.) Refrigerate the dough for about 10 minutes. This will also make the dough more firm and easier to manage. You can also refrigerate this overnight, just make sure you cover it beforehand!
6.) Roll the dough into 1 inch balls. Create a small hole in the middle of the ball- you can use a pinky or whatever- and then add the caramel sauce into the hole (As you see here, I just drizzled it over the cookies) and put in about 1/4 teaspoon into each hole.
7.) Form the dough ball around the caramel- you can use an additional piece of cookie dough to seal the caramel in place. Then roll the ball in sugar (skipped this step :P) and place it on an ungreased cookie sheet.
...Here, I would disagree- cooking spray made it MUCH easier to toss those cookies onto a plate (and you can always use vegetable oil spray)- OR use parchment paper on your cookie sheet at the very least. It'll save you the agony of the clean-up!
8.) Bake for 10 minutes....um...what with my slow oven, and the extra applesauce...NO. Just....NO. More like at least 25 to 30 minutes, no more.
If you have a BETTER oven of course, or even one of those fancy convection ovens, obviously you can shorten the time.
...But as long as you're just waiting around, why not make the caramel sauce? :P
Get a medium sized saucepan, open up the coconut milk can, add in the sugar and vanilla, put it all in the pan- and cook on medium-high to high; make sure you keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn, overcurdle or etc and keep a whisk handy to blend!
It'll take a good half hour anyways to get it to cook down, but once it does, you'll get a thick gooey caramel sauce...and you'll have plenty leftover for any extra cookies, or tofu ice cream, take your pick :P
Then just let the cookies cool for a bit, drizzle the caramel sauce over them and...
Enjoy folks *noms a cookie*
