I'm late to the party, but Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! It's been a whirlwind of a week, and today I have just chilled out and talked to family and some friends on the phone. A different Christmas for sure, but I am grateful overall.

Had a great time with my family today! I will organize and post pictures tomorrow! There was tons of food and Camri outdid herself as usual! We stayed inside though because the temperature outside was only in the low 50's!

Hope you all had a good Christmas!

I got my oldest nephew a bike, looking forward to taking him on some rides as the weather warms up.

Oh that sucks! I'm always afraid of falling. I've been really lucky I've just slid when I have tripped.
That was nice to get from your sister!

I've done nothing but cook and bake--and eat and drink

I know this is last year’s thread but it’s kind of early for a new one. I don’t want to rush anyone.

Does anyone have a tried and true recipe for vegan sugar cookies? The kind you cut out with cute cookie cutters? The fancy decorated cookies I remember from different bakeries were always nice to look at and were tasty but they were always hard and tough. I’d like a cookie that will hold up to decorating but still be tender and crisp. I see a ton of recipes online but I thought I’d rather have something that one of you have actually tried and succeeded with. If not I’ll just have to wing it and hope for the best!

I haven't made this but I trust the Minimalist Baker

I'm not a negative person, but I do often expect the worst in order to safeguard myself from less than ideal outcomes. For example, say we're

Why is that?

 

[Lou]

Why is that?

I've used many of her recipes. They all were great.

Back before there were like a zillion vegan cooking blogs - she was my goto site.
I also checked out her cookbook from the library and found it was really useful.
Her recipe pages are sort of busy - so once I find a recipe I like, I will put in CopyMeThat.

 

[KLS52]

I have printed out several of her recipes over the years.

 

[KLS52]

This one looks good too.
