I was happy to stumble upon a new vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe when I realized I had no more sweet bites to eat, in between all my other eating. You see, they’ve got tahini in ’em! And I just happen to have a little less than 1/3 cup of Read more…

File this under “First World Problems.” You buy a tube of almond paste, use what you need and then there it sits, the last half inch of almond paste getting hard in your fridge. Too little to use for another recipe, too much to discard. During my annual January Pantry Read more…

A few weeks back a made a batch of cookies, improvising as I was missing an ingredient. I wasn’t very proud of the cookies, but brought them into work anyway to share with my colleagues. My work peeps went nutso for them. Like on and on and on. I tried Read more…

The second selection of my holiday cookie gifts is the Caramel Pecan Bars from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. Gosh, this cookbook is such a throwback. But this is a great addition to a holiday cookie spread because it’s all about richness, texture, and ooey-gooey caramel. Here’s the batch Read more…

For many years I have made the same chocolate chip cookies. But I’ve been meaning to try an aquafaba recipe since seeing this post. This, to me, is a big deal since I’m pretty particular about my favorite cookie, the chocolate chip cookie. But after needing chickpeas for my chili, Read more…

Rainbow Cookies are one of my favorite sweet treats to make. And’ve come a long way since my first attempt in 2009. I used this wonderful recipe adaptation to make this 6-layer version in celebration of Gay Pride. On the food coloring front, I tried Chefmaster Liqua-Gel food coloring (confirmed vegan on Read more…

Firstly, a giggling me photoshopped the picture above… but it is not that far off an idea that Cook’s Illustrated, my favorite print magazine, would soon contain a vegan or “plant-based” feature. To this point, the latest issue had write-up on the coconut whip, the well-loved easy-peasy pantry tip, in Read more…

I’ve written about these cookies before, a cookie so ingrained in my memory that I can still vividly experience them. From the shuffling through the brown paper grocery bag, as tall as me, in the backseat of my mother’s car to find and be the first to open them; to opening Read more…

After this recipe incubated in my “inbox” for weeks, it was time to put my unemployed hours to greater use and get crackin’ on it. This messy cookie assembly required the patience of idle weekday hours and itunes at no one-in-my-building-is-home levels. The culmination: a king-sized, slightly fatter vegan version Read more…
