Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar: 100 Dairy-Free Recipes for Everyone's Favorite Treats
by Terry Hope Romero, Isa Chandra Moskowitz
I decided to make the leap into veganism in July 2011 after reading several books about the diet's benefits and I have never felt better. I once couldn't imagine NOT eating meat or dairy, but after experimenting with so many great cookbooks, it really has been an easy transition. I have slipped up a few times and believe me, your body will LET YOU KNOW that it doesn't want that crap anymore. It's a shame that vegan dishes get a bad rep - most I have tried have been fantastic. Even my husband, who still eats meat and dairy occasionally (we don't bring it into the house anymore - just milk for him b/c that is his non-vegan vice) RAVES about most of the vegan meals I have prepared. So many pluses to the whole thing. Anyway...
When I decided to do some vegan Christmas baking (my first Christmas eating vegan) I immediately came to GR to hunt down highly-rated cookbooks for cookies. It's no wonder that this one is so beloved. I would say this is a MUST-GET for vegans and non-vegans. The recipes are that good.
First, the book is fantastic to look at. The color photos will send you into a tizzy and make you want to make pretty much every recipe in the book. Speaking of which, I DO want to make just about every recipe in the book - FANTASTIC sign for a cookbook!
This Christmas, I made: (the names might be slightly off because I am going from memory...checked this out from the library but definitely want to own it)
Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows - AMAZING. My husband said they were his favorite cookie this holiday, and we sampled about 20 varieties. They taste so good warm out of the oven.
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies - I wanted to make these because my uncle makes a great non-vegan version. Delicious. They were chewy and SUPER fudgy - make sure you get dark cocoa powder.
Grapefruit Icebox Cookies - These were a huge hit as well. The citrus taste with a semi-soft shortbread was mmm, mmm, mmm. They looked really pretty too - just like the photo.
Cookie Dough Balls - Made per request by husband, who LOVES cookie dough. Made little balls of these and kept them in the freezer, where they lasted about two days. If you love cookie dough, or know someone who does...I BEG you to make these for them. Delicious, and no chance of death by salmonella! Win - win! Oh, and I actually tip-toed to the kitchen a couple of nights to snag one while he slept...don't tell! A craving is a craving!
