Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are the best oatmeal cookies I have ever had! I have made them several times now and every time I share them they are a hit!

Hope everyone is having a lovely spring! I am even though it seems winter wants to stay. 

I haven't had as much time to post or engage on social media because of my final teaching practicum. It has been busy but wonderful. 

I have even had the opportunity to teach a grade ten dance option class which has been so much fun! Crossing my fingers that I can get hired to this in September!

I adapted this from The Vegetarian Baker. They are the best oatmeal cookies I have ever had! (did I already say that?). The Vegetarian Baker has some great vegan recipes. I originally found him on Youtube where he does excellent videos.
