I have made my specialty again! Cookie sandwiches!
This tyme they are unvegan, loaded with pasture salted butter and the middles are brimming with daun-made nutella frosting. open the plastic container it is being held in, and you smell the creme filling that is usually in hostess cupcakes.
mandi's yard sale was to-day and i delivered 2 cookie sandwiches to her and sal and bought some ballerina slippers.
the other tantalizing photo held by daun, is a bowl of our veri veri teriyaki udon veggie stir fry dish. really slurpy and sticky, outside on the porch we ate bowls of it with chopsticks and sweated mustaches.

adree visited tonight!
and we made Babycakes bakery chocolate chip cookies. goo fest flat little SQUARE! cookies.
yum yum. she put a dollop of strawberry frosting next to the cookies.
i had to sell precious goods at half price books to get the bakery cookbook. haha. and i had to sell more last week to get my conor outer south love album. albumen.
i had about 4, and now i am going to be raw again. I eat raw & Babycakes sweets!
we talked about conor & taylor & the concert the whole time and sat in her van and talked of habits that nuns style on their sinless bodies.

Sunday night we baked up the Vegan with a Vengeance's chocolate chip cookies, you know, the little cookies that seem to be on everyones blog! Those cute puffers. We baked them up for the boys on tour (including daunie's boyfriend Chris!) We didn't get a picture of them, but here is a good picture from another person's flickr, it's from ashmac. ours turned out quite dark because we used whole wheat flour, and we burned the bottoms of the 2nd batch because I was too busy taking pictures of daunie & pancake in her new white wicker chair!

For her coworkers.

right now i am going to a christmas and when i get back, birthday party sleepover!

baked cookies this morning. had to test a zine recipe....granola chocolate chip cookies.
turned out flat and extra chewy. so they were yummy! took them to work and most everyone ate 2 each...yay new zine recipe!

After dinner last night (of leftover chili and a piece of precious bazbeaux pizza) i was seriously craving a cookie. i frantically flipped thru my vegan cookbooks, trying to find a cookie recipe that didn't involve maple syrup, or other ingredients i didn't have.
finally i looked on the computer, where i have tons of word documents with recipes pasted on them from various sites. I found vegan with a vengeance's chocolate chip cookies!
I had everything, and i had organic brown sugar, so i used that. They were oh so soft and delicous and melty.
Here is how I made a batch of 15 cookies...I halved the recipe and changed it a bit. And I watched "An Affair to Remember", with Cary Grant & Deborah Kerr. Theresa from work let me borrow it! Mmmmm Mr. Grant and soft, warm chocolate chip cookies, oh my land.

VWAV pillow-soft chocolate chip cookies.
1/2 cup earth balance marg, soft & at room temp. 1/2 c + 2 T organic brown sugar. 1 T molasses. 1 tsp. pure vanilla. 1-1/4 c. whole wheat white flour. 1/2 tsp soda. 1/2 tsp salt. 3/4 c semisweet chocolate chips (Ghiradelli brand). 2-3 T soymilk.
350f. cream softened e.b. with brown sugar until fluffy. add molasses and vanilla and mix in. add flour, soda, and salt and mix until a dough forms, if a dough does not form, add 2-3 T soymilk until a cookie dough forms. mix in chocolate chips and then dig your hands in. roll into 1 " balls and plop on ungreased cooky sheet. bake 8-10 mins. until slightly browned. let cool on pan a bit, then transfer to a rack if you would like. they will cool on the pan just fine. try one warm!

Yay! I made a recipe card of it on keyingredient.com!!!!

i am baking 'the best damned cookies on the planet' because adree is coming over! and because i happened to have maple syrup, a luxury in a bottle that i haven't had for a couple months. i just ate a ton of the dough and now they are in their oven, baking. adree and i are having a photo shoot and then we are going to go run! And eat cookies for dinner and make Jamie Oliver's 'quick tomato sauce' with spaghetti! mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm. tomorrow i have the day off, so i am doing a shoot with mandy & kodie! i love having all these photo shoots booked! i need new customers as well! anyways...here's the recipe for the best damned cookies (aka maureen's oatmeal chocolate chip cookies from the garden of vegan)
3/4 c flour, 2 c oats, 1/2 c sugar, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
Mix dry...then in a blender, blend....
1/2 a very ripe banana, 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract, 1/3 c oil, 1/2 c pure maple syrup
Pour blended mixture into flour mixture along with 3/4 c semisweet chocolate chips (i use ghiradelli semisweet chips) and mix them up.
Bake at 350F for 12-15 mins, or until edges are browned.


After the photo shoot we took Noodles for a walk down the road. (avoiding the strange man that was at the house talking to dad.) Then we went inside and made Jamie's tomato sauce and paired it with Barilla spaghetti. We tossed it together in my huge flower mixing bowl and we ventured outside with a lantern and sat at the top of the hill with a blanket and ate our spaghetti from the huge bowl. we had a night picnic with spaghetti! it was so much fun. the spaghetti was so flavorful and yummy tomatoey.
Today I have the day off, and Mandy has a half day. I think I am going over there to take some pictures later on. For now, it is cold and my tummy feels unwell from too many cookies before bedtime.
