Vegan.
Gluten-free.
Cookie.
Dough.
Baked.
And so addictive, you’ll think they’re made with crack. But crack probably isn’t vegan (or gluten-free, or even something you’d want to consume if you’re reading my blog since you’re obviously interested in healthy things…) so you’re safe.
A long time ago, in a far away galaxy, as Katie would say, a fun and amazing yogi, personal trainer, and best friend named Anne, had a Superbowl party (I told you it was a long time ago). During this Superbowl party Anne made vegan brownies and cookies. Lori, from What Runs Lori and eater of said brownies and cookies, loved the cookies so much that she decided to nag Anne until she gave up her secret… and that’s where it all began…
Or that’s where the recipe came from. I just made them gluten free. But damn, they’re good. Make these for someone you need to thank… and trust me, thank them you will.
