Does anyone need a reason to whip up a batch of the most perfect cookie? I certainly don't. These cookies are really soft, almost like those old school Keebler soft batch chocolate chip cookies but way better. These are also great made as blondies (see below for variation). I also lightened up the recipe by using applesauce in lieu of some of the vegan margarine. Want to make them even a little healthier? Use whole wheat flour. This may lighten them up a little bit but make no mistake, they are still just as delish!
