Vegan Baking Success Comes To Oregon Woman At Long Last

yes, that's right, friends, after several disastrous attempts at vegan baking, and yes, i do mean DISASTROUS, i have succeeded where i once failed in the grandest manner possible.

what was once deemed "The Baking Debacle of 2008" has been put to rest finally, with this recipe from the post-punk kitchen, and a few tips from the baking substitution queen, miss ~k~, to whom i give many thanks and a couple hail, hails, though she subscribes not to the cult of tMG. yet. :)

here's the recipe for those what want it, i highly recommend it. my changes are below.

i subbed a bit less than 2/3 a cup of applesauce for the canola oil, to make the cookies less full of le fat, this is ~k~'s sub, and i testify to the fact that it worked out great.

i also added a bit of extra nutmeg (i like things to be more spicy than many)
and i added a tiny bit of coriander (i just really like coriander)

i plain forgot to buy nuts at the store, so uhhh, i just didn't put any in. i think it would be great with them, but they turned out great without them too.

i also subbed dried cherries for the raisins, since i'm not big on raisins and i love dried cherries in nearly anything.

SUCCESS. even m is gobbling them down, and states that they are good.

this does not diminish the fact that i am a rock star. a vegan baking rock star.

go forth and bake. if i can do it, so can you. trust me.
