Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

I made some vegan chocolate chip cookies this weekend. They turned out better than my regular cookies! And since there are no eggs, you can eat all the cookie dough you want!

2 - 2 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup margarine, softened (do not melt)
1/2 cup turbinado sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup extra firm tofu, pureed
1 tb vanilla extract
2 tsp imitation vanilla (I substituted some orange oil for half of this. It was pretty good)
2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (make sure they're dairy-free if you want to go all vegan)

Preheat oven 350. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in one bowl. Mix sugars in another bowl. Cream margarine with an electric mixture, then add sugars and mix well. Add tofu until well blended. Add vanillas. Add flour mixture, one cup at a time. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop in one-inch globs on cookie sheet (I line mine with parchment paper, it helps a lot). Bake about 15 minutes.
