Cookies are one of my favourite things to bake in the kitchen. They’re versatile, quick, easy and make any frown turn upside down. They have a magical power of makng any day or situation better!
When ever I feel in need of a pick me up or a confidence boost in the kitchen I grab the butter and my mixer and whip up a batch of cookies. I grab whatever I have in the pantry and magic happens. That’s the beauty of cookies. Almost anything tastes great in cookie form.
I’m not gonna lie my cookies don’t always make it to the oven. I know I’m not alone. You totally eat raw cookie dough out of the bowl too. The good news is these cookies are perfect for raw consumption since they have no eggs. What…. You know it, they are totally vegan. These will become your new go to cookie recipe and no one will guess they are healthy. I like to call it health in disguise.
