SNICKIEDOODIES!

cinnamon in your cookies is good.
not always, but when it's situationally-appropriate
and a site-specifically spot-on application of spice?
yeah.
it's jussssst right, like baby bear's porridge, bro.
mmmmmhmmmm.
i took my cookie recipe from last week, and i turned it UP a little bit,
to make it more expert, and more rewarding,
and then i took half of it and activated some cinnamon sprankles, too.
i did.
here's what i came up with for a batch of gluten-free from-scratchers,
two ways from tuesday, and doubly dope for all the hope and joy of the holidays.
ha!

COCONUT MAGIC, AND GLAZED SNICKIEDOODIES!!!!
yes.
these guys remind me a little baby bit of anginettes.
in fact, they're so close, i might just have to make up a new-new
all-vegan no-gluten non-ricotta anginette recipe this weekend.
uh-huh.
who doesn't love old nana's italian XI-mas cookies?
jerkholes, that's who.
...anyway,
these aren't quite those, but they are quite good.
-
here's a little backstory on these cookies, kids:
after the last batch of cookies,
i hear that MORE would be most welcome for my sweet lady.
so, you know i had to get expert on another 'nother heap of 'em.
also, i had recently watched breezy put a quart of cinnamon
all over her oatmeal the other day,
and i thought that was a sure sign of making a surefire blockbuster cookie
using oats and cinnamon.......
i was mistaken.
cinnamon is NOT for cookies, apparently.
i had no idea.
i liked, them, at any rate, and that just meant i had a few dozen dollops of dopeness
to take to the studio with me.
AMPERSAND TATTOO was glad for the gluten-freedom and the cinnamon,
so it all worked out in the end.
nice.
-
back to the cookies-
here's what i did to create 'em,
in case you feel the need to follow suit
(but perhaps you may wanna check on the cinnamon-receptivity of your spouses, first)

COOOOOOKIES A & B!
-
preheat your oven to 350℉
-
in a medium-sizd metal mixing bowl, combine:
1 cup bob's ap gf flour;
1 cup mama's coconut gf flour blend;
1 tsp xantham gum;
3/4 cup sugar;
1/4 cup powdered sugar;
1/4 cup dry medium-flake coconut;
1/2 cup gf oat flour;
1 tsp ea bakey powder and soda;
1/2 cup salt;
1 tsp vanilla;
1/2 cup (a.k.a. 1 stick a..k.a. 8T) vegan butters-
cut all that together into a crOmbly mess,
and stir in:
3 T coconut yogurt;
1/3 cup carton coconut milk
(the canned stuff is NOT what i'm talking about, use any non-dairy s'milk you like)
-
press and fold and flip that dough until it's all combined, sticky, buttery, and soft-
then pull, and plop a few dozen little balls onto a non-stick baking tray,
flatten then just a touch, and bake them for 11 minutes.
this recipe will make at least 4 dozen,
sooooooo, after that a-team effort,
add alllllllllll the cinnamon to the remainder, and make the b-team version, too.
uh-huh.
i left those rustic, but you do whatever you like, man.
i'm not the boss of you.
-
i always add icing and sprankles.
yeah.
i can't help myself,
and maybe that aesthetic was what made me think of anginettes.
whatever the reason, these cakey jauns are the business,
and i will likely make even MORE of them before the holidays are over.
-
what?
you want a recipe for icing?
really?
c'mon.
it's just powdered sugar, vanilla, and s'milk or water-
try something, and make it happen, kiddo, i think you can do it.
***********
and i'm frozen solid.
do you know that when i woke today up it was two fahrenheit degrees?
two.
yeah.
that's not enough degrees, unless you've got a masters, then it's plenty, i s'pose.
but, this is NOT masterful. not at all, y'all.
a very cold winter is very lame indeed.
i'm not a big fan, man,
and while i think thirty two degrees is plenty cold, and freezing, literally,
this sh!t has got to warm the F* up, f'real.
my skinny bod is trying to get fat, because i'm too thin to retain any heat.
i simply don't have the mass to hold it in,
and all these cookies aren't getting me bigger fast enough to stay toasty.
it's all really happening,
and i'm huddled against a space-heater trying to catch myself on fire just to feel a baby bit better before i feel a whole lot worse;
never quiet, never soft.....
