Made theses cookies today abd they were AMAZING! I am not a vegan but am working on eliminating animal fats from my diet for cholestoral reasons. These cookies are chewy, dense, and delicious. I used bittersweet chocolate and added walnuts and the flavor is decadent. I made the vegan butter with a macadamia cream to insure a rich outcome. The butter was very successful but there is a coconut overtone that I think would be difficult to remove. I should have used macadamia nuts instead of walnuts for that reason and will do so next time, No matter what these were delicious with a bit of a crunch on the outside but a soft chewy and gooey center. Thanks for this Mattie
