Cookies For A Rainy Day

When the rainy season arrives all I want to do is curl up in my blankies and never leave, unless getting out of bed means I get to eat cookies. These cookies are delicious, and the hint of cinnamon is the perfect flavor for fall.
Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies
Makes approximately 2 dozen cookies

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup softened Earth Balance
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Enger-G egg replacer (equivalent of 2 eggs)
12 ounces vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 coarsely chopped hazelnuts
Preheat the oven to 375*. Combine flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon is a medium bowl. In a large bowl combine brown sugar, sugar, Earth Balance and vanilla. Beat until sugar and Earth Balance are creamy and fluffy. Add Ener-G egg replacer and beat well. Add dry ingredients and mix. Once all ingredients are well mixed, add chocolate chips and hazelnuts and stir. Spoon teaspoons of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
