Mexican Mojito Wedding Cookies, Chai Baklava, and a giveaway

I’ve been keeping really busy lately with recipe writing, research, and behind the scenes work on projects lately. I’m hoping to have lots of new goodies and information to share very soon!
Here are some new recipes that are in the works.

Mexican Mojito Wedding Cookies
A twist on the basic Mexican Wedding Cookie, infused with lime, fresh mint, and a healthy dose of tequila.

Chai Baklava
This was my first time working with phyllo dough. I’m not one to read instructions most of the time, so I jumped right in with a traditional non-vegan baklava recipe for reference. There was definitely a learning curve, but I made an agave syrup baklava infused with chai spices and tea!

This was kind of a quickie post, but I have a giveaway for you guys! This is a new flavor of Laura’s Wholesome Junk Food: Cranberry Breakfast Bite-lettes. They taste a lot like oatmeal cookie dough with a generous helping of dried cranberries scattered throughout. They also have a hint of a spicy orange flavor. Vegan, wheat-free, and kosher. You can win two 7oz tubs of these cookies.

To enter, comment on this post with your favorite add-in for oatmeal cookies (doesn’t have to be cranberries to win!). I’ll announce the winner next week onĀ Wednesday, July 1st. US entries only, please.
