i'm pretty sure i married the cookie monster. personally, i'm a brownie kinda gal, but one thing's for sure- i definitely married into a cookie family. and i count that as a good thing, as i've grown to appreciate the scrumptious rounds tremendously.

this is my mom-in-law (aka cookie queen)'s recipe, and it's tried, true, and totally delicious. at her house, they are made at least 2-3x a week, and though it's much less at our house (sorry, dave!) they are definitely our favorite dessert.

of course, we were a bit frightened about what our latest vegan adventure would mean for this favorite recipe, but i'm happy to say that with a few vegan substitutes they turned out just as good- honestly! i couldn't believe it.. below, i'll give you the original recipe as well as our vegan substitutes. yum yum!
