Vegan Cookies

So what do vegans eat when they need a sweet treat? What don’t we eat?  I have some special recipes that any vegans and non-vegans enjoy. The warm spices are comforting and the peppery kick makes it extra sassy.
What is Chai spice -this varies  from Indian household to Inidan household.   I used Laxmi Brand Tea Masala, which was like pumpkin pie spice with peppercorn added. It is premade but no one will judge me on this shortcut. But recipes can be found and premade mixes like the one I used can be located in Indian andMiddle Eastern food stores
Chai Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups of flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1.5 tsp chai spice

1 cup vegan chocolate chip
¾ cup agave nectar
½ cup vegan shortening (I used Earth Balance)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup almond milk
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment
2. Mix dry and wet ingredients separately. Then pour wet into dry and mix until smooth.
3. Droop by the tablespoon onto a cookie sheet and cook 8-12 minutes. Until bottoms are golden brown.
4. ENJOY!
