Vegan Sugar Dream Cookies
As a young girl I thumbed through my Betty Crocker Cooky Book every single day after school. I think I baked my way through each illustrated cookie in that book. I still have it, the tattered old treasure, complete with splattered pages and notes in my loopy third-grader script.
No other cookie book has ever come close?but there?s one that has recently vied for my affection: Swedish Cakes and Cookies (Skyhorse Publishing, 2008). Something about the layout of the book reminds me of my old fave?with an illustration of each cookie right there beneath its recipe, and the recipes?they?re delightful. This cookie stands out for me because it reminds me of one of my old standbys, with the added bonus of being vegan. I hope you?ll like it. Skal! (That?s ?cheers? in Swedish.)
