Cherry Almond Deliciousness!


I tested for Isa and Terry's Veganomicon a couple years ago and am now privy to test recipes for the upcoming cookiebook, which comes out in November. There's been tons of pictures taken of the cookies that will be in the book and they look amazing! I have been able to try a few of them thanks to my baking-fiend friend Jess. Also, while Evan was in town he made a lot of them and i got to try the ones that i'm completely in love with currently. Cherry Almond Cookies. YUM! I've made 3 batches in the last week. I put coconut flakes that needed using in the last batch. It didn't really add much to the cookie so if i didn't have the flakes i wouldn't go buy some just to use for the cookies. It probably doesn't help that the coconut flakes are kinda hella old. Also, note that the recipe calls for slivered almonds....I accidentally bought sliced. It doesn't make a huge difference, i just find that slivered would be less awkward when placing them on your cookie sheet. The cookies themselves are kind of shortbread tasting and the almond extract in them gives them a wonderful flavor. They're delicious....

You can preorder their cookiebook, Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar on Amazon.com, but i think i'll be waiting til it comes out and buying it from a local place like Herbivore or Food Fight!
