Popcorn Cookies

I adapted this recipe to suit my v*gan and chocolate sensibilities.

Dry:
- 3/4 C unbleached AP Flour
- 1/2 C wheat germ
- 1/2 C old-fashioned oatmeal
- 1/4 C powdered coconut
- ~3.5 C popped popcorn (coarsely crushed)
- 1 1/2 T cornstarch
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt

Wet:
- 1/2 C oil
- 2 T applesauce
- 1 1/2 T soymilk
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 1 1/8 C brown sugar

Add-ins:
- 1/2 C chocolate chips
- 1/2 C chopped raisins
- 1/4 C chopped pecans

Here's How:
Preheat oven to 350º F.

Mix dry ingredients. Mix oil, sugar, and vanilla. Stir in dry mixture. (I used a spoon and it was a little messy. Add the add-ins. I ended up using my hands for this part. I used to half sheet pans with parchment, without parchment you might want to lightly grease. At first I used a 2 teaspoon disher to make the cookies, but this didn't work too well. So then I used my hands to make similar sized cookies, I smooshed just a bit. They were a bit crumbly. Leave about 2 inches between cookies for expansion. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on pan 5 minutes before transferring to racks.

Yield: ~3 dozen cookies
