Vegan Chocolete Chip Meltaways

2 1/3 cups unbleached white flour (you can use 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 unbleached white too)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup non-dairy butter (preferably non-hydrogenated too)(2 sticks)

1 scant cup organic cane sugar, or other granulated sugar

1 scant cup organic powdered sugar

2 flax eggs (recipe below)

1 teaspoon vanilla

12 ounces non-dairy chocolate chips

FOR THE FLAX EGGS

• 1/3 cup flax seeds
• 1 cup water

1. To make the flax eggs: Grind flax seeds in a Vitamix blender or food processor. Slowly add water and blend until it produces a gooey mixture. This makes 6 flax "eggs". Refrigerate unused flax eggs in refrigerator for up to 6 days. (Be sure to clean out blender immediately!)
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Sift together flour and baking soda, set aside. Beat together butter and both sugars. Beat in egg replacer (6 Tbsp flax goo = 2 eggs) and vanilla. Add flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 13 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove cookies to racks to cool completely -- they'll firm up considerably.
Yield: 2 dozen
Variations:

• Add chopped macadamias or walnuts;
• Make Vegan Chocolate Chip Bars - Spread mixture in a very lightly oiled 9"x13" pan, ba ke at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in several places comes out clean. Let cool slightly, and cut into squares.
