Chocolate Chip Cookies for the Dairy-Free Eater :)

There are some things that I have not be able to perfect for my son to enjoy. However, Chocolate Chip Cookies is no longer on that list. I used "Enjoy Life" brand chocolate chips and they were great. He keeps sneaking them because he has never been able to have them before!! So cute....

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ¼ t. salt
• 1 t. baking powder
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1 cup all-vegetable non-dairy shortening, such as Spectrum
• 2 cups dark brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 t. vanilla
• 2 cups dairy-free chocolate chip

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
3. In another medium-sized bowl and using an electric hand mixer at a medium speed setting, cream together the shortening and brown sugar until well combined and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat until well combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the eggs, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, drop cookies onto the prepared sheet, about 2 inches apart, and bake for 20 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown.

NOTE: The drops seem big, but they made nice size cookies :) I used Earth Balance instead of shortening.
