Recipe Freebies!
I’ve been really super busy lately (it’s finals week!) and haven’t been able to blog too much. Still, I’ve managed to come up with a few new recipes in the past couple weeks. Here is a link to a post I made on the PPK forums with recipes for Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, Autumn Clouds …
Vegan Fortune Cookies!
They’re homemade too! I wasn’t thinking these were going to turn out, but they did, and I’m so excited! So many possibilities! The trick is to make them really thin, fold, then let cool completely while resting on a narrow wine glass to hold their shape. It works perfectly!
Colorful!
Crispy Swirly Pinwheel Cookies with Pink Sugar Two ways. With vanilla on the outside. Chocolate on the outside. Intense Dark Chocolate Cookies with Sprinkles Experimentation with gluten free baked goods. These chocolate chip cookies use rice flour instead of wheat. I found they had a bit of a gritty “aftertexture”, so more experimentation to follow.
Nuts, Oats, Chocolate, and Caramel
Soft Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Cranberry Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cookies This was an interesting idea I couldn’t let go of and they turned out fantastic! Classic Crispy Chewy Oatmeal Cookies Chewy Caramel Pecan Cookies Mini Chip Snowball Cookies

Peanut Butter Cups (I’m going to post the recipe here soon! The ratio of filling to chocolate is a little off, so once …
An Interesting Experiment. Don’t Try This at Home…
…or anywhere else! Let me preface this post by saying this was a complete joke and I have no intention of putting this recipe in the book. As I said on the PPK forums, the conversation went something like this: “…cookies inspired by drinks for the book” “….” “Bloody mary cookies!!” “Ew, that sounds terrible!!” …
Thanksgiving Cookies!
So I did not go all out this Thanksgiving. I made a couple of batches of cookies to bring to my grandma’s and that was that. I made the Autumn Clouds Pumpkin Cookies (not pictured) and Candy Cane Oreos! The oreos were enough work and I was exhausted. The day after Thanksgiving was a ton …
Mmm…inspiration.
A couple Sundays ago, I found a Dominick’s food catalog with this on the cover: It’s two double chocolate cookies sandwiched around some peppermint candy cane ice cream. I can already envision a vegan version of this and it’ll be even better!
Cinnamon Roll Cookies and Flickr Photo Pool
Cinnamon-y, sugar-y! Cinnamon Roll Cookies are amazing! Garrick is ingenious for coming up with this recipe. It took me four batches of these to not mess them up (all my fault), but I’m so glad I finally worked these out because they are so good and a huge hit with everyone I shared them with. …
