I used a rounded tablespoon to measure the dough and that worked perfectly for a batch of 24 cookies. They spread a lot so I left an inch and half between them on the pan and that was fine. There was at least twice as much chocolate sauce as necessary, though (and vegan chocolate chips aren’t cheap), so I recommend halving that. I’ll use my extra sauce on pancakes this weekend, though, so I’m not too upset. ;) I subbed a flax egg for the banana because I don’t like my cookies to taste like banana, and I used maraschino cherries. They’re a great addition to the xmas cookie tin. Thanks!
