My husband is not hard to please when it comes to desserts. He either wants ice cream or anything with peanut butter. Peanut butter and chocolate combination, even better. That's why it's never difficult for me to come up with a dessert to make for him on Valentine's Day. I stick to what he likes and I can never go wrong! This year, I decided to create a cookie sandwich recipe for my man. Gluten free vegan chocolate peanut butter cookie sandwiches. Two soft, chewy chocolate cookies, filled ... read more

Christmas and cookies are two things that just go together for me. I have so many memories of baking cookies at this time of year.

Creating new cookie recipes doesn't come easy for me because I love the classics so much. Other than my grandma's recipes, there are only a few that I hold close to my heart. Chocolate ... read more
gluten free vegan pumpkin cutout cookies
I like to call sugar cookies "celebration cookies". We make them at Christmas time, at Easter too, even for birthdays. They are like a blank canvas for whatever the holiday may be. They are also a kid favorite because they are usually covered in frosting and sprinkles! When it comes to being creative in the kitchen, I love taking something original (like a cutout sugar cookie) and changing it into something new. With a little pumpkin puree and spices, I've come up with a gluten free vegan ... read more
gluten free vegan soft oatmeal raisin cookies
Warm, soft oatmeal raisin cookies. That's what dreams are made of. Well, to me at least. I have been a fan of the classic oatmeal raisin cookie for as long as I can remember. It was actually a good thing growing up because most kids thought they were nasty. Raisins in a cookie was a big no-no. I didn't understand because I thought it was genius (still do). These gluten, dairy and egg free oatmeal cookies are bakery size. Nice and big! They stay soft from the applesauce and have very little ... read more
gluten free vegan vanilla wafer cookies
Whenever my mom would come home from the grocery store, the first thing we did was check out all the grocery bags. Search through each one and find the hidden treasures. Did she get any popsicles? Did she get more orange juices? Did she remember to get another box of Nilla Wafers? Those were our favorite cookies. One box never lasted long with 4 kids in the house. I happened to marry a guy who also thinks vanilla wafer cookies are pretty awesome. He could finish off a whole box...by himself. ... read more
