Valentine's Day, tomorrow, i will be making some delish sweets and treats. And usually us vegans don't get in on the valentine's day chocolate action, but not this year! well, yes, there are some places that sell vegan candies and chocolates, well, LOTS, but it's really (well, pretty) easy to make your own vegan candies and chocolates, so i thought, what the heck. i'll make 'em. So, they're pretty much like peanut butter cups, but instead of the peanut butter, any flavor you want, and any shape.
Enjoy!

Whew! Cookie Baking Spree!
Whew! i made SO many cookies for the holidays! i made Cinnamon Sugar Snowflakes, Peanut Butter Chocolate Buttons, Sugar Cookies, Spritz and more Spritz! here are the pics, and a recipe:
Little tip for the Spritz, i recommend using less flour than the recipe calls for. good luck!
p.s. here are the pics from our thanksgiving! i made the caramel pecan bars, and mashed potatoes my dad made the pumpkin and apple pies, and my mom made the "turkey" and the veggies and my bro made the biscuits and gravy!
And now for the recipe!
Super-Easy Sugar Cookies
3/4 Cup Vegan Margarine
1 Cup Sifted Confectioner's Sugar
1 Tablespoon Ground Flax
3 Tablespoons Water
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, Sifted
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Cream butter and confectioner's sugar in a large bowl until fluffy.
In a small bowl beat the flax and water together until frothy. Combine with sugar and butter, add vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, stir until a soft dough forms. divide dough into half. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out half the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out with desired cookie cutters. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
Enjoy!
