Off-topic: Corner Brownie Cookies (Vegan)
Completely and totally off-topic post, but this is a recipe i created and felt might be good to share with the world.
See, one of my hobbies is experimental baking. I've been trying out a few vegan cookie recipes of late because one of my coworkers is vegan, and this one turned out so well that i thought i'd put it on the internet.
I call them Corner Brownie Cookies because that is exactly what their consistency and taste is like.
Corner Brownie Cookies
Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or any oil of your choice, really, i suppose)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp coconut milk
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup flour
1/4 cup walnuts (or whatever you like to put in your brownies, which could also be nothing)
Preheat oven to 350. Mix together oil and the two sugars (i do this all in a bowl with a spatula, you don't need a mixer). Stir in vanilla and coconut milk, then add the baking powder and salt. Next, add the cocoa powder, then the flour. It's easiest to add in the flour a 1/4-cup at a time. Then fold in the walnuts.
Dollop out blobs of about 2.5" diameter onto a parchment-covered cookie sheet. The mixture will be kind of doughy so you can shape them nicely if you like, but i usually don't. You do want to press them sort of flattish, so they're about 1/4" thick. You'll wind up with about 15 cookies on a single cookie sheet with this recipe.
Bake them at 350 for 13 minutes. Let them totally cool. In fact, they are best eaten the day after they're baked.
