Happy eating! 

Store-bought

So Delicious - Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches 

Ice cream sandwiches are one of my favourite desserts, and I can't get enough of these! At only 100 calories and 7 grams of sugar per sandwich, I've been known to eat more than one in a sitting, because they're just so good!! All of the nostalgia of the summertime, corner store ice cream sandwich, without all of the animal products. Love it!

Homemade

Snickerdoodles (recipe modified slightly from The Vegetarian Baker)

I originally saw this recipe on YouTube from The Vegetarian Baker. I love his channel, he's such a sweet guy and he comes out with some great easy recipes! The modifications that I've made (very slight modifications, mind you) come from a happy accident I made when baking them the first time around. Because of a typo in the recipe, I ended up only putting in one type of sugar! Luckily they ended up the perfect amount of sweet (for me), so I've stuck with that going forward. Also, he mentions coconut sugar in his recipe, which I have tried but I did find they didn't turn out as well using it, so I prefer cane sugar (and ALWAYS brown sugar of course!).

These cookies inevitably come out around Christmas time, because who doesn't love snickerdoodles?! They are the perfect holiday cookie. The first Christmas I made these I ended up having to make about 12 dozen because they were so popular and friends and family kept asking for more! Luckily that was easy to do, as the ingredients involved are all items I would already have in my pantry. I hope you enjoy these as much as we did!

Ingredients

All-Purpose Flour - 2 1/4 cups Baking Soda - 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon Sea Salt - 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon

Cane Sugar – 1/2 cup Brown Sugar - 1/4 cup Corn Starch - 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract - 2 teaspoons Apple Sauce - 1/2 cup Vegan Butter - 6 tablespoons, melted Coconut Oil - 1/3 cup, melted

+ an extra few tablespoons of cinnamon and cane sugar for the topping.

Instructions

Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Whisk together both sugars, corn starch, vanilla, apple sauce, vegan butter, and coconut oil.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough is formed.

Chill your dough in the fridge for one hour.

After a hour of chilling, preheat the oven to 350°F.

Scoop out your cookie dough in tablespoon-size portions. Roll with your hands to form a ball. Roll in cinnamon sugar to coat the ball entirely. Press the ball flat onto a parchment- or silicone-lined baking sheet. Once all your cookies are on your baking sheet, sprinkle any extra cinnamon sugar you may have on top.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow cooling before enjoying.

Lastly, share with everyone you know as snickerdoodles bring people together 💗 Yum!
