I guarantee all of you cookie connoisseurs out there will love this cookie whether you are Vegan or not.
 
Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup Organic White Flour
1/2 cup Organic Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
2 sticks Earth Balance or other Vegan Margarine
1 cup lightly packed Organic Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Organic Cane Sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp Flax Meal
5 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp Lite Coconut Milk  (you could also use almond or soy)
1 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla
3.5 oz Dark Chocolate (72% cocoa) rough chopped
3/4 c chopped Pecan
1/2 c Organic Dried Cranberries

Combine flours, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a medium sauce pan, melt margarine with sugars. In a separate small saucepan combine water and flax meal. cook over med-low heat until it becomes thick and gloppy - the consistency of egg white - this will happen quickly.


This is how the flax/water mixture looks after it's heated
    
The melted margarine, sugar, flax mixture, milk and vanilla
Add the flax mixture, milk and vanilla to the sugar mixture. Pour this into dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
