At today's cancer awareness walk event, I had the good fortune of being setup next to Bakes By Dawn, a vegan baker. She came over to smell some of my candles. When she found the one she liked best, I suggested we just swap products and she agreed. (I *love* the barter system!) I picked out a couple items (banana bread with walnuts and a big chocolate chip cookie). Dawn was kind enough to offer a couple packets of sugar cookies, too. Now, I gratefully accepted them, but my go to sweet treat usually tends to be something more exciting than "just" a sugar cookie. Holy, cannoli! These weren't "just" sugar cookies. They were excellent! Before I decided to eat primarily plant-based, Lorna Doone shortbread cookies were probably my favorite "road trip/gas station" treats. Dawn's sugar cookies reminded me of them... crispy, sweet, and a little buttery. Yum! Watch her page, to see where she'll setup next. And, don't let them being vegan treats scare you off. If it didn't say "vegan" on the package, you'd never know there weren't animal products in them. They're SO good!
