♥Gluten Free Vegan VALENTINE'S DAY Cookies ♥


Need something different but exciting for your Valentine? LIZ LOVELY COOKIES make for some serious Valentine goodness.  Organic and Vegan and completely delicious, they're a treat you can feel good about enjoying.  There was a time when I had to bake my own cookies in order to insure my son and I got quality organic and vegan ingredients (forget about making gluten free cookies, that was over my head).  Now they are available pre-made from Liz Lovely, and they even have gluten free options, yaay! My new favorite cookies! 

They are Big cookies.  With a little restraint, one cookie can last for 2-4 different moments of sublime indulgence.  They're so rich and satisfying, you really don't feel that you need to eat the whole thing at all.  My favorites (for right now) are the Chocolate Fudge and the Triple Chocolate Mint.  Wow!  The texture is perfect, you would never think they were gluten free or vegan, there's nothing here but melt-in-your-mouth yumminess (so don't worry about gifting these to non-vegans).

  I strongly suggest a sampler box.  They have several different options to choose from (different quantities, gluten free or not, chocolate lovers, etc) which I think would make a fabulous gift for any occasion. Cookies are wrapped in cute packaging with a heart logo.  The box is bright and festive with a sassy pink ribbon.  How exciting to receive a pretty pink box full of cookies on V-Day!  Order soon to have yours in time (be sure to order a box for yourself too!).  Find them here on the LIZ LOVELY WEBSITE.

VEGAN COOKIES INVADE YOUR COOKIE JAR


I've been looking forward to this book since I realized it was coming out. Moskowitz and Romero are the authors of two of my favorite cookbooks, Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World, and Veganomicon, and I've come to rely on them for sure-thing recipes. Cookies are my choice indulgence so I'm thrilled to have Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar.

I just got it, so I haven't had time to try all of the recipes yet but I can vouch big time for the Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows--dramatic presentation and yummy! I can't wait to try the Key Lime Cookies, Lazy Samoas, and Chocolate Chip Biscotti. This is perfect timing for the holidays! There's nothing like a nice assortment of cookies on the table for parties and desserts.

The recipes are straightforward and the tone is entertaining. There is a warmth and sense of humor that pervades. I love the way they understand their readers and can anticipate little tidbits we need to know like how and when to make substitutions and cookie troubleshooting. They have a gluten free flour mix for those who need that option and a primer on ingredients.

This book has lots of fab photos and is the sister book to their cupcake book--same format. It's funky and fun and would make an awesome holiday gift for vegans and non-vegans alike. Highly recommended for every kitchen!
