It was when I was baking these for the second or third time that I realized they were actually Vegan cookies. No egg. No milk. I was actually going for frugal, but sometimes, you get two for one.
These cookies are stirred. No mixer to dirty. That’s another plus in my book. I love one bowl, one spoon cookies. Not that I do the dishes much in my house. There are four boys that get to share that chore most of the time. They appreciated the small pile of dishes.
This recipe has no eggs, milk or nuts.
