Filled with 'everything but the kitchen sink' these Vegan Kitchen Sink Cookies are a delicious way to use up leftover ingredients you may have lying around your kitchen. Easily customizable!
Last week I finished my third year at IU. Now I only have one more semester left. I can't believe I'm only one semester away from being in the 'real world'. Crazy!!
During finals week, I was busy studying and packing up my apartment. As I was going through my kitchen I realized I had a lot of random baking ingredients that were mostly used. I didn't want to throw them away but I also didn't want to take mostly empty containers home. So I decided to make some cookies.
I wasn't expecting a whole lot. In fact, I wasn't even planning to share them with you guys. I figured they would probably turn out pretty bad or just tolerable enough to eat. But I was wrong!
You can definitely tell that these Vegan Kitchen Sink cookies are indeed kitchen sink cookies. But honestly, they taste pretty good. (Especially if you top them with a bit of date syrup or molasses -- YUM.)
So what's in these thrown-together Vegan Kitchen Sink Cookies? I'm glad you asked.
The dry ingredients are: almond flour, sorghum flour, puffed amaranth, date sugar, and ground flaxseeds. And the only wet ingredient is unsweetened applesauce. I had some raisins and coconut so I threw those in too!
You might be reading that list thinking "I don't have one of those ingredients". That's completely fine! The point of kitchen sink cookies is that you use the things you have. For example you can sub oat flour for the almond or sorghum flour, use rolled oats instead of amaranth, replace the flaxseeds with chia seeds, sub banana in for applesauce, or add chocolate chips instead of raisins. The possibilities are endless!
That's the fun of these cookies. You get to use up some ingredients you had lying around while whipping up some delicious creations.
To make these Vegan Kitchen Sink Cookies mix the dry ingredients together, then add in the applesauce (or whatever you using). Stir in your mix-ins (coconut + chocolate sounds amazing). Then bake. Enjoy!
Jesus, thank you for giving us creativity. Thank you for helping us making delicious creations out of unexpected ingredients. Amen.
