vegan cookies and crazy cupcakes.

Last night, Casey, Deanna, Liam, Andrew, and I made vegan chocolate chip cookies. Although, we made a first batch from a different recipe and they were awful. It only tasted like the chocolate chips we put in them. But the second recipe, from Everyday Dish, was great and worked so well. And they were fantastic. Needless to say, they're gone now after 24 hours later.

And now...something from thisiswhyyourefat.com

CUPCAKE KEBABS!

Cookins!

Oh, look! Cookins!

So, yes, after making delicious Silver Palate cookie dough (it's my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe) and then placing it in muffin tins, all was not lost. Honestly, there's something awfully disappointing about a bad batch of baked goods, but luckily, cookies baked in muffin tins was a success. Like the brownies, you end up getting a denser, bigger portion of the original baked good. They turned out great and tasted just as they should, although a few of the cookins (cookie+muffin = cookin) had tops that were sunken in. But that just got me thinking that they need either a scoop of ice cream on top or some frosting to patch the hole. Or, you know, those are always good test trys. You know: the cookie that doesn't look as nice and neat as the others so it becomes the first one you eat, just to make sure it tastes alright.

A success. Which is good since I'm still too lazy to buy cookie sheets. In time, in time but until then, I will probably continue to bake in that tin.
I also don't have a mixing bowl. That's why the cookie dough was prepared in a pot. A very handy, trusty pot. We filled the tins about halfway full of dough and they baked a bit longer than the normal 8-10 minutes, but not much.
Totally recommend this recipe.
