Vegan Junk-food Chocolate Chip Cookies

These chocolate chip cookies hit all the right notes! Salty, sweet, rich and crunchy.... so friggin delicious. Junk food lovers rejoice!

I'm not too much of a junk-food vegan, but when the craving kicks in and it's National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, why not get a little crazy, right?!

I love topping these babies with corn snack from Love, Corn brand. They taste like popcorn! Actual popcorn either burns or turns stale in the oven, FYI. I tried it. Don't do it. Baking tips!

Ingredients

Makes 12 Cookies

Cookie Base
1- Chocolypse! Choco Chunker Cookie Kit (V)
3 TABLESPOONS- Filtered Hot Water

Mix-ins
1/2 CUP- Oreos (about 6-7) *if you're avoiding artificial flavoring and palm oil like I am, the Whole Foods 365 brand cookies are a great alternative.
1/2 CUP- Pretzels

1 HANDFUL- Love, Corn Brand Corn Snacks as topping

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350° F. Take out the two pouches from the Chocolypse! cookie mix packaging and find the one labeled Almond Butter Mix. Spoon out contents of pouch into a medium size mixing bowl.
2. Add 3 tablespoons of hot water and whisk until slightly thickened. About 30 seconds. 
3. Stir in Flour Mix with a flexible spatula or mixing spoon until it's half fully mixed.
4. Crush the Oreos and pretzels and mix in the dough until no white flour streaks are visible.
5. Divide dough into 10-12 balls, place on a non-stick baking sheet, and push each down slightly.
6. Top with the corn snacks and bake for 11-13 minutes. Cookies are done when the edges are slightly hard, but center is still soft.
7. Cool for 10 minutes before digging in. The cookies continue to bake on the sheet, so it's definitely worth the wait!
