Part 1:
1 1/2 cup whole wheat (or white) flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (or 1/2 cup) Earth Balance
(you can use 1/2 cup vegetable if you need to)
1 tbsp vanilla
1 egg replacer (I like to use flax)
Part 2:
1/2 cup cocoa
Trader Joe's Mint UFO chocolates
1: Preheat oven to 375ยบF
2: Very thoroughly mix all ingredients from Part 1 together, adding water a teaspoon at a time until mixture sticks together when squeezed (but is still a little bit crumbly).
3: Add 1/2 cup cocoa. It is extremely important that you fold the cocoa into the batter and not mix it together. You want the batter to be "marbled" not completely brown, so once the cocoa is absorbed into the batter, STOP.
4: Roll the batter out and create shapes using cookie cutters or do as I did and use a small canning jar/glass dipped in flour (to avoid sticking) to create equal-sized circles.
5: Add a mint UFO to the top and bake on a non-greased cookie sheet for 7-8 minutes. Watch the time; remove from oven when slightly browned on the bottom.
Alternate: If you like things extra minty, you could also keep the cocoa portion of this recipe separate, mix 1 tsp mint extract with 2 tsp water into the cocoa and then slowly add the cocoa to mix as describe above in step 3.
