Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies (1st attempt)

Backstory

Our dearest kumquat, aka Mermaid-Pilferer LuLu Pumpkin-Patch Cummins, was gracious enough to share with me her recipe for the greatest chocolate chip cookies in the world, which happen to also be vegan. I've never been a great baker, but these seemed easy enough to tackle so I saved the info for later.

Original Recipe Link shared by kumquat in IRC on 2020-06-29 in #meta.

Attempt #1

In this first attempt I made a few critical errors. First, I accidentally misread the baking powder as 1 tablespoon instead of teaspoon. I caught my mistake immediately afterwards and removed most of the excess, but my measurement was skewed. Second, my liquid measurements must have been off as the mixture ended quite dry. It's possible that my liquids were correct and my flour was the culprit also. In the original recipe the flour was measured in cups rather than weight.

After chilling and resting the dough for a day it was difficult to form the balls on the pan and took great pressure from my hands to get them to stick. Eventually they fit the pan and baking commenced.

Regardless of these challenges the cookies themselves tasted delicious. They were a bit crunchier than I'd prefer, but the flavor overall was excellent.

Recipe

This is the recipe I used. It is nearly verbatim from the website linked above, but with measurements mostly converted to weights and metric. There may be some small changes in the text as well.
