Recipe 80: Cashew Butter and Jam Thumbprints

Hiiiiiiii! I lied to you last time. It’s been a year. Do I even remember how to bake?

Well, I’ll tell you right now…the answer is no! I have a friend, Lindy, who is not eating dairy right now. Fall is in the air (literally, with all my fall candles from Bath & Body Works #notsponsored #pleasesponsorme), so I thought it would be a good idea to make some vegan pumpkin bread! That recipe was not by Martha and it failed, miserably. But this blog is not about that bread, it’s about the dairy-free cookies I tried the next day:

Recipe 1: Flourless Peanut-Chocolate Chip Cookies

I started right away! Same day I bought the stand and app!

The app is pretty cool. Clean, large pictures, everything looks tasty, some videos (!), and baking tips (I need them).

For my first cookie, I wanted something I couldn’t fuck up. Something with just a few ingredients and nothing fancy. I’m not ready for frosting. I’m also not ready for any kind of chocolate dipping. Or powered sugar. I didn’t choose chocolate chip because I’ve ruined those before. I went with Flourless (good idea) Peanut-Chocolate Chip.

7 ingredients. Awesome. I can do this.

Here’s what they’re supposed to look like (app screenshot):

Yum, right? I’m feeling inspired. I can make this shit happen. Continue reading
