Chocolate chip cookie wedges

I have just added the Recipage feature to my blog. I really hope you’ll like it. I first saw it on another blog, and I liked the way that it produces a printable page for each recipe that also includes a photo of the end result. I don’t know about you, but I like to see what I’m trying to make.

I am launching the feature with one recipe—delicious vegan chocolate chip “cookie” wedges. I am still doing my cleanse, but, as I said, I haven’t given up sugar, and who doesn’t need a little treat now and then? And, these little treats are made with spelt flour rather than traditional white flour. Feel free to use white flour if you like. 

These wedges are chewy, with a dense oat-y texture and a yummy chocolate chip cookie taste. I love the combination of oats and chocolate, almost as much as I love chocolate and peanut butter.

Try serving them warm with a little chocolate drizzle and some vanilla ice cream.

Let me know what you think of the new feature and of the recipe!

    Fantastic! This is just the solution to my laziness of not wanting to shape individual cookies. Plus, all the oats make it look hearty enough that I can pretend it's a suitable breakfast option. ;)

    I totally agree, Hannah. It is much easier than shaping cookies, and I almost put it in the breakfast category as well. :)

    These wedges look simply wondeful - I can imagine dunking them into hot chocolate or even stirring marshmallows into hot chocolate with them... yum :D

      Sounds good to me! Even though it's getting warm outside here, I would be into the hot chocolate!

    What about using coconut oil instead of vegan margarine and using half coconut and half flour? I personally don't like margarine and by using coconut instead of flour maybe we can end up with a perfect recipe for vegans and celiacs.
