Jumping over there now. And I am still in awe of your beautiful photos and photography skills. You need to give me that magic chant to get such beautiful pictures ;-)
Oh Stella, how I love when you make vegan desserts. And how you are an animal lover as well. The cookies look wonderful! You can beat Mrs. Field's any day.
Just saw your guest post :) Those cookies look sooo good. I should really start following these kinds of recipes which would be better for skin. Im going to this food allergy show this weekend so hopefully buy some goodies to cook with there.
Lemme know how the icing goes with choc cake, Im thinking of pairing it up with a banana cake next time
Hey Le, banana with avocado is a great idea-very tropical! I might make a vegan chocolate cake with that icing or something very similar. I'll post if I get good pics and link to you if you want me to...
Thanks Deana! That means a lot coming from such an awesome photographer. I still haven't mastered the lighting thing like you have, but I'm working on it...
Hey, Stella! Thanks for the heads up about your post. Even though I'm not vegan there's something that turns me on about baking without eggs. I'm always looking for egg-free cake and cookie recipes --so thanks!! They sound so classic and delicious. I also really like that there are no "weird" ingredients and your recipe uses things that I would normally have on hand (and yes, I do keep oat groats around to make my own oat flour :)
Just came in from visiting my friend Lazaro from CES. It looks like I'm not the only one slowly growing under the Stella spell;o) I took down your recipe...especially to share with a good friend of mine...her son is allergic to eggs and nuts. I'm sure he'll love them. If I may make a suggestion...since, I've been tinkering a little with gluten-free recipes...I figured why not help celiacs too while we're at it. I find that in cookies we can easily substitute the regular flour with 'Sweet Sorghum' flour. So far, it's been my favourite. Let me know if you've ever had the chance to use it? Stella...it was very generous of you to guest post as well as Lazaro paying you a great honour...Congrats! Keep writing great posts. I'm always interested. Flavourful wishes, Claudia
Hey Claudia, it's funny that you mention this. I am about to try and 'free' myself of my addiction to wheat. I will still eat it, but I don't want to be so reliant on it like I am. I don't suffer from Celiac, but I notice I feel more energetic when I avoid wheat/gluten. I will remember to look for some sweet sorghum flour next time I go to my health food store (it's small here in the subtropical hollow, but they might have it). If they do, I'll give it a go...anything's better than having to buy all those different gluten free flours in order to end up with a decent baked good! Thanks Claudia! And I'll let you know...
I love egg free baking Stella - I think you know that but I still have to learn how to bake without butter! Off to Lazaro's to read your post - I know it will be enlightening! Beautiful picture, btw!
Hello dear Stella, I just settled in from Kansas and what do I foind, lovely baked cookies..Chuls pointed out vegan chocolate chips the last time we went to the store, now I feel silly about not following her advice and grabbing a bag...they look truly wonderful and would be a great after school treat!
Hello Stellina...I was just about to sign off when I saw your question on the Sweet Sorghum flour. Here it is to the best of my knowledge: I've tried it successfully alone 1:1 ratio substitute for all purpose or whole wheat flours. It works very well in cookies and cake tortes. As far as light textured type cakes...I have not tried it yet. If you have a chance before I do...please let me know. I would also like to add my other favourite gluten-free flour: Brown rice flour...BUT...make sure it's the variety: fine grain! The other rice flour has a tendency to give an annoying bite. I hope this was helpful. This too, is very new too me...always experiementing and I am just a tad finicky...hence, not many recipes to rave about yet!
wow you get alot of posts! thx for the message on my blog. i'm going to try these cookies, tho i loathe to bake, i married a handsome sweet tooth. yes, with high blood pressure. what is your fiance' doing for his? and keep looking for a place for those chickens. doesn't take much space to raise a dozen girls!
Hey Staci, we just make sure to keep his sodium and saturated fat/cholesterol intake low. Along with ensuring absolutely no trans fats in the diet and high potassium intake-baked potato, raisins, bananas, watermelon, etc. It helps a lot!
The Witchy Kitchen is a tested collection of remedies, concoctions, sweet treats, and some random magic. All of which is inspired by my love for the study of nutrition and the mystical world in which we live. So peek into my kitchen and be tempted by relief, wellness, or something delicious!

Awesome! I am heading over to Lazaro's right now.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic Stella! You're a real witch in this kitchen. I'm afraid I might switch to vegan cookies because of you! :) Great work.
ReplyDeleteLovely vegan cookies, I was always wondering about vegan desserts, how great they are...you showed me that they can be just scrumptious
ReplyDeleteLovely guest post Stella! Your desserts are just superb! I did get some of that agave nectar and will use it soon :)
