C is for cookie

early this morning my mom came over to bake vegan cookies with me.

we made four different kinds:

pecan snowballs

salty cardamom snaps

sweet potato bars with chocolate chips and pecans

&

choklaboll

the cardamom snaps were veganized from a martha stewart recipe found in this year's special cookie issue, which i thought was the regular december issue of living when i bought it.  it turned out to be a happy mistake.  the other recipes were from vegan cookies invade your cookie jar.

i used this little animal shape to cut the cardamom snaps because if you hold your hand over the body it looks like a moomin.  last night i saw that uncle b made some real moomin cookies for mister mushroom  and i felt very jealous.  this was as close as i could get.

they turned out so beautiful!

  next time i might start a bit later and take time to eat breakfast first so that i do not eat as many when they are coming out of the oven.  i got a little tummy ache, ouch!

suki helped with the finishing touches.

we all had so much fun!

we put together thirty five boxes then adam delivered them to friends.

god jul!
