Today I made a cheesecake. It happened by accident, it happened as many things related to food happen, I look at them and think… hmm. Maybe this will work, or “I wonder what will happen if I combine this.” I realize there are perfectly good recipes for Chocolate Chip Cheesecake with a chocolate chip cookie crust, but did I follow them? No.<\/p>\n

Did I follow a recipe for chocolate chip cookies? No. But mostly because by now, I know the ratios by heart. I put flour, brown sugar, oatmeal, oil, and chocolate chips in a bowl. Mixed them, splashed some soy milk, and boom. There it was chocolate chip cookie dough. Ready to eat. Did I eat it? No…<\/p>\n

Okay yes. But just a little bit. The rest I pressed into a pie pan. And baked at 375 degrees C for 20 minutes. But I had a little bit of cookie mix left over, and saw a container of bonus tofutti cream cheese (Metro grocery in Liberty Village in Toronto is having a sale…) and I looked at it, looked at the chocolate chip cookie mixture… and wondered… maybe… just maybe I could mix it all together and turn it into something edible.<\/p>\n

So into the blender they went. With a dash of soy milk.\u00a0 And boom, back into the oven for ten minutes or so.<\/p>\n

End result was tasty, but ugly. I could probably refine this recipe more, but I probably wont. I would however eat it again, so if anyone wants to make something like it and feed me with it, I’d be pretty thrilled.<\/p>\n

Now for some beautiful chocolate chip cookie related recipes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Running With Tongs made an AMAZING looking Chocolate Coconut Walnut Cookie Pie. <\/a>– for real, you want to check out the picture, it’s droolworthy.<\/p>\n

Vegan4One has a simple chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe<\/a> that I could see myself trying. I can’t recall putting applesauce in my cookies before.<\/p>\n

And for more food porn, I went over to This is What I Eat Vegan – for these delightful chocolate chip cookie sandwiches<\/a>. (with Vanilla Buttercream from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World<\/a>.)
\nTomorrow:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tomorrow I will finally update about the AMAZING vegan swap<\/a> I got last month from Ida at Yummy Vegan Dinners<\/a>. But seriously. It was awesome.<\/p>\n
