[recipe*] Ginger Crinkles ~ vegan cookies!

[Guest guest]

These are the best cookies ever, IMO.

Everyone I have baked them for begs for the

recipe, and when they read it cannot believe

they are vegan. The original version of this

recipe was not vegan, but I used a few different

ingredients and it was easy to make them that way.

They make the house smell divine, and if you can

hide some away, they pack up nicely in a lunchbox.

 

Okay, off to work I go. Have a great day!
