Caraque Cookie Pastires
These pretty cookies were a test recipe for Celine and Joni’s cookbook. The recipe made six, and Tim and I ate all six in less than a day. Ooooooops. These are big shortbread-like cookies with chocolatey goodness, icing, and a fun candy on top. The devouring scenario went something like this:
(talking to self) “Okay, just one more bite.”
Hand reaches into fridge, removes lid from tupperware, takes a cookie out, and chomps happily away.
Cookie goes back into tupperware, lid goes back on tupperware, I leave the kitchen.
Five minutes pass.
(talking to self again) “Seriously, just one more bite.” (The bites growing bigger each time…)
Hand goes into tupperware, cookie disappears, the lid stays off, five minutes pass… See what I mean?! These cookies reminded me of Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies, only so much better. They are buttery, chocolatey, crispy, awesome. Oh, and did I mention they are easy to make? Now you must buy the 500 Vegan Recipes cookbook when it makes its way to your nearest bookstore! You just must!!!

ooooooh yummers! those cookies look absolutely irresistable! mmmmmmmm! i think i would have eaten all six of them in one sitting! i’m a total cookie addict & once i have one, it’s all over from there! ahahahahaaa! i can’t wait for the cookbook to come out! superexcitedface!
I’ve never had Milanos, but boy, do these look good! And I’ve certainly played out that same fridge scenario, oh, thousands of times! :)
AAAABSOLUTELY gorgeous.
Beautiful cookies! I’m the same way with Carrot Cake…just one more bite :)
My mom LOVES LOVES LOVES Milano cookies so when this book comes out I will have to make these healthier-ish cookies for her.
so cute! they look like giant eyeballs :)
Hehehe, some treats are just that good. And these ones are pretty to look at also!
boobies!
Now those are some fancy looking cookies! I can see how you would have a hard time resisting…
There are far worse things to be addicted to, if you ask me…! :)
wow! what beautiful pictures youve taken!!!
god im so bad with that too… whenever i bake i eat everything.. woops…. i mean i guess if theyre vegan its ok???
Wow, those look so gourmet.. kind of remind me of the iced cookies i used to get at the grocery store as a kid! Mmm cookies…
this is the conversation I have every day with those damn peppermint rittersport bars in my cupboard!
Lucky you to be a tester for celine and joni!
those cookies look and sound just wonderful! and by the way, 6 cookies eaten by 2 people in the course of one day is not a big deal at all. i can’t even make cookies anymore because michael and i will eat an entire dozen in no time flat!
I want some of those “you know whats”!! I’m planning on making these Friday…I hope I don’t eat them all!
