As a child, did you ever love a food so much that you would risk the wrath of your huge and terrifying older brother to sneak the last one?
The other day my husband and I were reminiscing about childhood junkfood favorites, and I remembered how much I desperately loved Little Debbie Star Crunches. I had [...]

Garam Masala Cookies
A little unconventional maybe– but pretty delicious for a last minute pantry raid. What I like best about these cookies is their texture– they are thin and chewy and crispy all at once. The flavor is, well, flavorful!
Since Garam Masala varies— I cannot guarantee that your cookies will taste just like my photo. :) Mine [...]

Vegan Doggy Biscuits
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I’ve got love on my mind. Puppy love.
As much as I bake, I often neglect to bake treats especially for my furry friend (even though he always gets some of my human treats). But our dog friends deserve their very own batch of cookies just as much as [...]

Almondy Chocolate Chip Cookies (GF)
Okay folks… they may not look like regular chocolate chip cookies… but you gotta trust me on these. They are seriously addicting little bites of awesomeness.
Since I first started eating gluten free, I have been trying to create a replica of my all time favorite vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe. Well, I finally have come [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle Cookies
These are super rich and chocolatey, exist somewhere in between a cookie and a truffle, and are loaded with peanut butter. Yes, they taste as awesome as they sound. If you are feeling a little lazy (or are just out of chocolate chips) the cookies are fantastic if you skip the dipping step.

Anise Cookies
Ever since I first tasted a springerle, (which honestly was less than ten years ago) I fell in loooove with anise flavored cookies. There is something about the whole “flavor explosion” thing that happens –from just a touch of anise oil– that really drives me over the edge.
With these, I tried out a flour mix [...]

Black Walnut Apricot Cookies (Raw)
Yum… don’t you just love cookies that don’t need “cooked”? Like most raw cookies, these little gems are ridiculously easy to make and good for you… holiday bonus! They are not overly sweet, like many of the awesome raw cookies that contain dates. They are actually a little bit tart. But, they are oh so [...]

Seiten is Evil?!
This is a slightly different type of post- and I apologize in advance for the lack of redundancy. But, there will be a few changes with Manifest Vegan. Nothing huge, but I thought I should let everyone know. My intention for the site will still be the same: to show people that their [...]

Gingersnaps
Gingersnaps are such a great holiday cookie. They keep well, they are ginger-y, they make your kitchen smell festive… what more could you ask for? These are the snappy kind of gingersnaps… crunchy and spicy, rather than the softer types that better describe a gingerbread cookie. The trick is to get the dough dry enough [...]
Banana Walnut Cookies
Banana anything is always great in my book, and these cookies are certainly no exception. Soft and chewy and authentically banana flavored…I am pretty sure you could win many people over with these. They couldn’t be easier, and chances are, you will have most ( if not all) of the ingredients on hand.
I didn’t add [...]
Pecan Sandiedoodles
This cookie is a fun combination of two of my faves: Snickerdoodles and Pecan Sandies. And, there are some more spices laced in to make them super festive. These are so simple to prepare, and take almost no time to bake and cool. They would be a perfect addition to any holiday cookie line-up. Double [...]

Almond Butter Sandwich Cookies
Lately I have been loving me some almonds…and these cookies are a great way to get a good fix of almonds AND overdose on sugar. They are crunchy cookies with a filling that is eerily similar to a store bought peanut butter sandwich cookie’s filling- especially the generic kind. And that just makes my day.
Be [...]

Rolled Sugar Cookie Eyeballs
So, I’ll be honest, this is a recipe for some really killer sugar cookies…rather than a step by step guide on how to decorate them into eyeballs. I pretty much suck at decorating cookies, because I have no patience, and I can never find the tools I need to do it. Every other time I [...]

Cherry Coconut No-Bake Cookies
These no-bake cookies are made pretty much the same way you would make any old no-bake. But, instead of as much oatmeal as I usually use, I subbed a little bit of coconut and some tangy dried cherries. I also left out the chocolate and peanut butter. The result was better than I ever imagined. [...]

Soft and Simple Peanut Butter Cookies
These cookies are really easy to make and loaded with peanut flavor. They are also pretty tasty. So good, in fact, that I had to stop writing this to yell at my dog for eating them off of the table. Yes, he eats anything. But he is incredibly intelligent, and those cookies were worth it. [...]
Cardamom Pistachio Biscotti with Golden Raisins
What a great way to make a whole lot out of a little cookie! Laced with pistachios and golden raisins this biscotti makes a wonderful presentation, smells fabulous, and is perfect for dipping into a piping hot cup of coffee. Cardamom is the key ingredient. And, the chunkiness of the nuts and raisins adds a [...]

Fig and Walnut Ravioli Dolci
This recipe tastes like a fig newton, sprinkled with class. It is basically a sweet pastry crust, rolled thin and filled with a fig paste. I used mission figs and walnuts in this particular example, and the results were divine. Once you have mastered this technique, the actual filling has endless options. Try dates and [...]

Black and White Cookies
These giant, soft, lemony cookies have always been a favorite of mine, even though I haven’t had one in years. Iced in chocolate and vanilla glaze, they are just as pleasing to look at as they are to eat. They are fairly time consuming for a cookie… especially if you do as I had done [...]
