Christmas Cookie Marathon!
December 25, 2009
I had to be very selective about who received a holiday cookie care package this year. Next year, when I am through studying to be a master of the universe, you’ll all get them.
The chocolate chip cookie is a must in any cookie assortment. Using Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar‘s recipe I got delectable buttery cookies rivaling my favorite cho-cho chip recipe. They have a lighter texture which complemented the assortment greatly.
Also from VCIYCJ (okay, they’re all from VCIYCJ!) are the Rocky Roads. Thick, brownie-like batter gave way to chewy deliciousness, chock full of chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and chopped almonds.
Cranberry and white chocolate biscotti were the adults of the cookie family, perfect for coffee-tipping and practicing your Italian accent.
Yeah, the Lazy Samoas were out of this world. With a truck-ton of shredded coconut and coconut oil, these babies were a short cut to those well-loved Girl Scout cookies. I’d like to experiment further in the veganization to attain the layered texture of the original but he taste of these was spot-on.
