I made gluten free vegan chocolate chip cookies and they were a success! I used oat flour and gluten free flour from Trader Joe's. It was easy to work with and the cookies looked like cookies and tasted delicious! I took them to work because the recipe made quite a lot of cookies and I needed help eating them. They were a huge hit and went very quickly. People seemed to love them, and just like with the oatmeal cookies I heard people express shock that they were tasty.
When I was packing them up for work I noticed one had baked into a heart! It would have been perfect for Valentine's day!
Less than an hour after I set them out there was only one cookie left! I felt a little vulnerable putting them out, like what if no one eats them. Of course that was a silly fear because first of all they tasted delicious and also free food is usually a pretty big hit!
We had some leftover flowers from Valentine's day that were marked down to a dollar so I treated myself to this bouquet. I'm such a big spender! Ha. I'll have to see if these last as long as my previous clearance flowers!
My after work dinner. Brown rice pasta with marinara and nooch. This is my favorite jarred marinara. It has a great flavor and no bitterness or too much sweetness. It actually tastes fresh and homemade.
Roxy loves the table with the thing too. As a matter of fact Afro is laying on the floor looking up at Roxy like "please leave" I think Afro needs to find a new napping spot, Roxy is pretty comfy!
If anyone wants the recipe for the cookies let me know. I did write the recipe so that I can make them again!
Hi!! I was just catching up on your blog, and I'm glad you were able to work through some illness. This season has been rough, and I can't believe they say it hasn't "peaked"! Ack! But it looks like there has been nutrition and kitty snuggles aplenty. On this particular post - I love oat flour! And thank you for the reminder on the brown rice pasta, that's some good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'm still dealing with a little sickness floating around, but I'm almost all better. That was one of the more brutal colds I've ever ha to be honest. I can't believe it hasn't peaked yet. I need to bathe in sanitizer before going to work!
DeleteI love oat flour too! And I had forgotten how easy it is to make! Trader Joe's brown rice pasta is my favorite because it's the best deal I've seen anywhere.
YAY! Yay for another baking WIN! You GO girl!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty cool because I've never been a baker!!
DeleteHow exciting to have the cookies come out so great! And such lucky coworkers that you are so generous to bring them cookies :)) the heart cookie is precious.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a great score on the flowers they’re really gorgeous! Obviously the table is staying as the cat nap pedestal. ;)

I was really excited about the cookies because I'm not really a baker, an also I'm very inexperienced with gluten free baking!
DeleteI like the table, it's the tapestry/rug thing I don't like, but it is staying because it makes the table a cozy napping space!!
Your cookies look great; glad to hear they were another hit with your coworkers! Pretty flowers, too! :)
ReplyDeleteThey were a hit, although free food usually is so it's not all me!:)
DeleteThe flowers are still thriving so not bad for a buck!
Who knew that the thing would be so popular with the cats! Definitely staying forever and ever now. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe cookies sound great, your co-workers are very lucky!
