Chocolate pecan cookies!!!

So I made cookies! I was trying to use this recipe:

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

But I didn’t have some of the ingredients. So I changed it almost entirely. Here was the result. They came out really well. Kinda cakey. Like most cookies that do not have eggs they tend to break up and fall all over while you eat them. But they are really tasty.

They could probably be easily done with margarine and some sort of vegan chips (carob or very dark chocolate) and be vegan (the dry milk is unimportant I think).

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup White All-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 T dry milk
• 1 3/4 cup butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup slightly crushed pecans
• 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions:

1. Sift together dries (flours, soda, baking powder, dry milk and cloves) and set aside.
2. Soften butter and cream in the sugars then mix in the juice, chocolate chips, nuts and vanilla. Stir well.
3. Mix in the flour mixture. It should be fairly stiff by the end so I sifted in the flour mixer slowly stirring as I went.
