Well, obviously theyre vegan I just titled it that way for google purposes. Or Ask Jeeves, if you prefer.

The PPK messages boards were clamouring for a version of these and what the PPK message board wants, the PPK message board gets. They taste pretty much as I remember them, although I cant tell you the last time I had one since I am, like, what? A level 11 vegan by now? I didnt bother coming up with a cutesy name for them, so if anyone can think of one, have at it!

Vegan Milanos Makes 16 cookies

For those of us who miss suckling at the corporate teat of Pepperidge Farm, here is a veganized version of everyones favorite chocolate sandwich cookie. Even though there is a bit of orange zest in the batter, these arent orange flavored, the zest just kind of pulls everything together and gives a sunny note of somethin somethin. I think bittersweet chocolate will give the most authentic flavor, but use semi-sweet if thats what you got. And heed the directions to flour your hands before forming each cookie otherwise the dough will stick.

1/3 cup rice milk (or soy, whatever you got) 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup canola oil 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Scant 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest 2 cups flour 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt

6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped (or use chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 2 large cookie sheets.

In a large mixing bowl, use a strong fork to mix together milk, sugar, oil, vanilla and zest.

Add half of the flour, along with the cornstarch, baking powder and salt; mix well. Add the remaining flour and mix until you have a soft, pliable dough.
