She Says: Cooooookies!
Well friends, my first 5k was scheduled for today, but postponed due to the weather. Next week! Probably better that I get another week to work on getting 100% healthy.
I seized the opportunity to cheer up a sad friend. Since I can’t send ice cream in the mail, I made cookies.
It’s been my experience that receiving a shiny package with a pretty bow instantly improves one’s mood. When she finds cookies inside, I hope she’ll be even more excited.
In the package are Oatmeal (Chocolate Chip) Flax Cookies – Version II
Cookie Mountain
Thanks for the apron, foodbuzz! I am v. Iron Chef.
I also made delicious White Chocolate Lime Cookies courtesy of Have Cake, Will Travel.
In an interesting case of role reversal, I subbed the vegan ingredients for non-vegan ingredients. I’m not opposed to vegan ingredients, I just didn’t have them. I highly recommend these cookies for something a little different. The lime flavor is great and they are flaky on the outside and soft in the center. The recipe says it makes 10 medium cookies, but I made 16 small ones instead. I also made an extra batch of dough and froze it for a birthday party next weekend.
Check out that lime zest!
Excuse me while I go eat some more cookies.

yo foodbuzz, where’s my apron!?
September 28th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Yum! That’s so nice of you. There is nothing better than cookies to cheer up a friend!
September 28th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
I see you used chocolate chips this time. V. nice.
September 28th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
How sweet of you! I know I’m always excited to receive a nice package in the mail, and pink and shiny just makes it that much better.
September 28th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Those cookies look fab, and I am totally jealous of your foodbuzz apron.
September 28th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
MMMmmm, I’d like a pretty bow-wrapped cookie if you please?
I had seen those white choc lime ones, but hadn’t decided on that flavor combination…
September 28th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
I often find myself subbing non vegan ingredients for vegan ones as well, primarily because after reading various nutrition books I am not a fan of margarine.
September 28th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
What an interesting combination – those lime cookies look like shortbread.
Anyone would be happy to get that care package!
September 28th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Aw. That’s sweet of you. That would be one swell package to receive.
Those lime cookies sound intruiguing. Maybe I’ll give them a try one of these days when I’m feeling extra adventurous.
September 28th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
i would DEFINITELY be happy to open a package wrapped up so beautifully! especially to find those delicious cookies inside!!
i may make the lime one to send to the hubby… i think he’d like them a lot!
let me know if you have any leftovers
have a wonderful night!
September 28th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Oh, please make that package be for me!!
September 28th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
ah, that is so nice of you to send cookies to your friend!!! they look sooooooooo good!
September 28th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Okay you are a bakin’ machine! And all those cookies look and sound so nutritious and yummy!! Have a great night
September 28th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Those cookies look so delicious! It’s such a thoughtful thing to send a care package…who DOESN’T love receiving packages!! Esp when they contain amazing baked goods
September 28th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
yayyyy homemade gifts! I bet your friend will love the cookies. My husband loves key lime pie, maybe I will try those cookies!
September 28th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Heather, in answer to your question… you could try making carrot cupcakes with the roll recipe, but I have not tried it and wouldn’t vouch for it.
But if you do end up trying them, do lemme know!
September 28th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Bummer your race was cancelled. The cookies do look yummy! I always sub vegan ingredients for non vegan ingredients, simply becuase I do not have them on hand. I always tell my dad these are the ‘almost vegan’ baked goods
September 28th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
This is tot. beside the point, I know and the cookies look fabulous, but you CAN order & ship ice cream across the country– homemade custom-named & custom-mixed through a shop I worked for called ecreamery (ecreamery.com)–they’re fabulous!
I’m sure your friend will loveloveloveee the cookies!
September 28th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Love the foodbuzz apron in the pic
September 29th, 2008 at 12:00 am
nothing like cookies to put a smile on your face!! i don’t think i’ve ever tried lime in cookies but the white chocolate lime sounds yummy!! so does the dough. haha
September 29th, 2008 at 12:05 am
Wow, those cookies look incredible! Your friend is very lucky to have you – I hope that your friend feels better soon!
I’ve never tried a cookie with lime before but I love anything lime so I’m pretty sure it would be a v. good experience
And gosh I love that apron. Where is mine?! Haha, patience is not one of my strong suits.
September 29th, 2008 at 6:13 am
Amy: Thanks! I didn’t know that. I will keep that in mind for my ice cream shipping needs.
September 29th, 2008 at 8:18 am
I would be beyond excited if one of my friends sent me cookies like that!
September 29th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Awww, how sweet of you to make and send those cookies to your friend!
September 29th, 2008 at 9:07 am
So glad that the 5k was rescheduled, since it couldn’t occur on the “original” day; and hooray for scrumptious batched of cookies!!!
So sorry that I missed all your posts yesterday!! I was at my dance showcase all day.
September 29th, 2008 at 9:42 am
yum makes me want to send some to a friend this week, I just might have to do that!
September 29th, 2008 at 10:00 am
oh no! it was postponed!?!?!?! we just had to run in the rain!!!!
ur cookies look fab. and the granola sounds awesome too!
September 29th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Sorry about the race! That’s annoying. But running in the rain (at least during a race) sucks. So is it just rescheduled for next weekend?
The cookies look great! Question- what shipping method do you use? I’d like to send some baked goodies to my out of state friend but I’m afraid that they’ll stale/fall apart before they get there.
September 29th, 2008 at 11:06 am
Heather, everything you make looks so good. If I send you 100 Tupperware containers and 100 boxes will you pack up a little of each thing and send it to me?
Scratch that, pack up a LOT of each thing and send that to me!
September 29th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Heather: You can send them one or two day though the regular mail. I’ve never had a problem. Yeah, the 5k is Saturday instead.
Mark: My dad always says, “Who would buy the cow when you get the milk for free.” No cookies for you.
September 30th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
they all turned out beautifully!
September 30th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Love the apron! I wonder when mine is coming?
