Oatmeal Carob Chip Cookies

This recipe is one that my sister Sallie makes for her family all the time, I made a few changes to it to make it vegan (Sallie makes them vegan some of the time, don't tell her husband) I have been in the mood for cookies for what seems like weeks now and so I am happy that last night I finally made these little gems! I have to say that in the process of being vegan I have really learned some crazy stuff. For example did you know that not all sugar is vegan??? I know I was shocked at first too, what could possibly be un-vegan about white sugar well....... I will not disclose that info but I will attach this link and if you want to know then you can click and learn, you choose http://www.vegan.org/FAQs/index.html

 But enough of that lets talk about Carob!!! This stuff is amazing if you have not tried it I will invite you to get some from your local Whole Foods bulk bins, that way you can just get a few to try at first! I did not take pictures of this because I was lazy but I am sure you have all seen a cookie before :) Just make it and I am pretty sure you will like it!
