Vegan Coconut Almond Cookies

These chewy vegan and gluten free Coconut and Almond Cookies come together quickly with the use of a food processor. Prepare the dough ahead of time and keep in the freezer until you are ready to bake. I love to enjoy these as a snack or dessert alongside a cup of coffee. If you don’t have a food processor, just stir the ingredients together in one large bowl until very smooth.

You’re going to want to add these cookies to your holiday baking list! They’re lightly sweet, nutty, and chewy. And here’s a secret: if you leave out the baking powder and chill the dough. it makes such a good raw cookie dough snack if you don’t feel like baking up a whole batch of cookies.

A quick note on sweetened condensed coconut milk: I find mine at my local food co-op, Whole Foods, or online.  The only brand I’ve seen is from Edward and Sons and it’s great. You can also make your own by reducing and adding sweetener to a can of regular coconut milk, but I’ve never tried that.

📖 ☕️ 🎃
A few books I hope to get to in September from my physical TBR 📚
It’s been a summer of quiet solo porch reading with my tomato plants. Since my porch faces west, it’s pretty cool until mid-afternoon even on 90+ degree days.
Love me a good twisted heroine.
I stacked my physical TBR in my non-functional fireplace and I kind of love it 😍 But it makes me want to paint the bricks white.
This summer I’ve been in a serious creativity slump when it comes to cooking and creating new recipes. Sometimes cooking just feels like a chore, ya know? It’s all good, I’ve been focusing more of my time on putting a dent in the ol’ to-be-read pile instead. 📚⁣
When you stop putting all/any of your self worth into Instagram, it becomes so much more fun to actually share and connect 🙃
Chaotic chocolate drizzle energy + arguably too much flaky salt.⁣
Sourdough Saturdays 🍞⁣
Pittsburgh finally has a real all-vegan bakery. I’m talking one with a clean and bright storefront that doesn’t make me want to turn around and never eat a donut again (IYKYK). ⁣
My dad grew these beauties
Juicy little book haul + a few of the library books I’ve been devouring lately 🤗 📚 📖 ⁣
Showing off a few of my 5⭐️ reads from this year before we get too far past the halfway point of the year! I am a library book lover and a lender of the books I own and love most, so unfortunately many of the books I’ve rated 5⭐️ this year are no longer in my possession. In particular, I’d like to mention Purple Hibiscus by @chimamanda_adichie which is possibly the best book I’ve read this year. I loaned my copy to a friend at the start of quarantine so it wasn’t available for the photoshoot 📖
Last three//next three 📚 ⁣
Let something ordinary arrest you with its beauty today. If you can lie awake for hours drowning in fear, you can let one moment consume you with joy or at least surprise that life can be so sweet. ⁣
Just the dreamiest at-home cardamom vanilla latte 🥰 I added a pinch of sea salt and cardamom to the coffee grounds before brewing as well as a dash of vanilla in the milk while frothing. Such a tasty afternoon pick me up (because apparently now I drink coffee any time of day 🙃)⁣
In college I ate oatmeal with banana and peanut butter every single morning, alongside a cup of hot tea or coffee. That’s hundreds of bowls of the exact same oatmeal I’ve eaten in my life. And it still hasn’t gotten old 😆⁣
