Usually I enjoy baking. I'm fairly decent at it because I typically follow recipes so the product most of the time turns out how it's supposed to. My first attempt at baking something vegan was that seven grain bread, and since that didn't turn out the greatest (I still don't know what happened), I decided to try again. Today I had friends coming over to work on an English project so I thought it would be an opportune time to bake some vegan cookies. I found what seemed like a good recipe for classic chocolate chip cookies. They weren't made with anything strange like tofu or egg replacer, it was just a simple cookie recipe where the butter was just replaced with a vegan version. Anyway, I used semi sweet chocolate chips, and my brother and I thought it would be better if we added some peanut butter too. When we finished, we tried the dough and it was quite tasty. This is the picture:
So the taste was fine, but the texture was extremely off. They were crumbly and didn't hold together very well. The strange texture seemed to take away from the taste, so I wasn't too happy with the outcome. Though my friends seemed to enjoy them, I'll probably try a different recipe for next time. Maybe it was because of the peanut butter, but other than that we followed the recipe exactly so I don't really know what happened. By the end of this vegan challenge I'll hopefully master baking things, but as of right now it's fun to experiment.
Third times the charm,
Maggie
