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.
mmmm….cooooookies
yo foodbuzz, where’s my apron!?
Yum! That’s so nice of you. There is nothing better than cookies to cheer up a friend!
I see you used chocolate chips this time. V. nice.
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.
Those cookies look fab, and I am totally jealous of your foodbuzz apron.
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…
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.
What an interesting combination – those lime cookies look like shortbread.
Anyone would be happy to get that care package!
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.
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!
Oh, please make that package be for me!!
ah, that is so nice of you to send cookies to your friend!!! they look sooooooooo good!
Okay you are a bakin’ machine! And all those cookies look and sound so nutritious and yummy!! Have a great night
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
yayyyy homemade gifts! I bet your friend will love the cookies. My husband loves key lime pie, maybe I will try those cookies!
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!
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
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!
Love the foodbuzz apron in the pic
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
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.
Amy: Thanks! I didn’t know that. I will keep that in mind for my ice cream shipping needs.
I would be beyond excited if one of my friends sent me cookies like that!
Awww, how sweet of you to make and send those cookies to your friend!
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.
yum makes me want to send some to a friend this week, I just might have to do that!
oh no! it was postponed!?!?!?! we just had to run in the rain!!!!
ur cookies look fab. and the granola sounds awesome too!
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.
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!
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.
they all turned out beautifully!
Love the apron! I wonder when mine is coming?
