Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour
*I used Trader Joe's white whole wheat baking flour

baking powder: use 1 1/2-2 tsp, or 1 Tbsp for fluffier cookies
1 tsp pink sea salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup vegan buttery spread, softened
2 cups vegan chocolate chips
1 cup raw walnut pieces/whole
1/4 tsp cayenne
2-5 Tbsp water (to soften dough if needed)
**since brands differ, use your own discretion to evaluate when the dough is at a right consistency.

Tools: Parchment paper, large mixing bowl, spoon, freezer, oven.
