We had some friends over to make ornaments and trim our Christmas tree, and at the last minute I decided that no party is complete without a themed dessert! Since we were planning Christmas-y snacks and Silk nog, I thought a spiced up sugar cookie would be just the thing to round out the snack table.

I adapted this vegan sugar cookie recipe from the rock solid Simple Sugar Cookies from VegWeb, and they were a total hit! The ginger and cardamom turns these already awesome sugar cookies into a spiced holiday treat.

I had a craft market this weekend, and we tend to have very little food in the house after I’ve spent the weekend tending a booth. Unfortunately, my belly didn’t get the message, and I could not shake a craving for COOKIES.

I had a craft market this weekend, and we tend to have very little food in the house after I’ve spent the weekend tending a booth. Unfortunately, my belly didn’t get the message, and I could not shake a craving for COOKIES.

Normally, if a cookie craving strikes, I whip up a batch, but I was pretty pooped after a busy weekend. Luckily, we did have the makings for some whole grain cinnamon toast! Hurrah!

I totally agree with Leigh on this one….chocolate chip cookies are excellent comfort food. With the weather being all Fall-like and rainy, it’s total cookie season! So! Here is the recipe for my very favorite cookies: chocolate chip with dried cranberries and cashews. Decadent!

  • 2c unbleached flour (wheat is OK, if you want!)
  • 2t baking powder
  • 1/4t baking soda
  • 1/2t salt
  • 1t cinnamon
  • 1.5c chopped walnuts
  • 1/2c canola (or other neutral) oil
  • 3/4c maple syrup
  • 1.5t vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350. Mix the dry ingredients in a big ol bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in a smaller bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and knead until everything is well-mixed, then drop spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookiesheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

EAT! These cookies disappear almost as soon as they come out of the oven, if you are not careful. Poof!

Makes 18-24 cookies, depending on how generous your spoonfuls are.

These cookies turn out sort of spicy like gingersnaps and are totally delicious! You can find the matcha powder online or at specialty shops. I picked up a huge jar at Trader Joe’s.

These cookies turn out sort of spicy like gingersnaps and are totally delicious! You can find the matcha powder online or at specialty shops. I picked up a huge jar at Trader Joe’s.

  • 3/4c all-purpose flour (You can do up to half of the flour with whole wheat, if you want!)
  • 1/2t cinnamon
  • 1/4t nutmeg
  • 1/2t ground ginger
  • 1/4t salt
  • 2/3c firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4c margarine, softened
  • 1/4c matcha powder
  • 1T flax meal beaten with 3 T water

Preheat your oven to 350F, and lightly grease your baking sheets.

Combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the brown sugar and margarine together. Beat in the tea and flaxmeal until everything gets creamy. Gradually stir in the flour mixture, and drop by rounded teaspoon onto baking sheets.

Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until centers are set and edges are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets for a couple of minutes before serving.
