That looks delicious!

I love snickerdoodles...and cupcakes and tirimisu....I need to get some lunch!

The snickerdoodles look delicious!

Thank you for the tip on the vegan cookery book...another one for my collection. :)

Tiramisu! I love tiramisu! They look incredible.

I've been meaning to tell you how much I enjoy Cookie of the Week :-)

I usually just read about your cookies and eat them with my eyes, but I think I will actually make some Snickerdoodles soon. You know, the last recipe I used called for butter instead of shortening. And every last cookie got eaten, so I guess that it was a hit!

I've used that shortening for a while and love it. I also use Organic Earth Balance instead of butter or margarine in all my recipes. You really can't tell. I have been replacing all my baking with vegan ingredients and love it. VCTOW is my all time fav cupcake book. LOVE it.

Hi Leslie,
www.trophycupcakes.com makes a snickerdoodle cupcake...did I mention they are across the hall from me...yummo!

Those look delicious! I could use a snickerdoodle to go with my pumpkin spice latte I'm currently devouring :)

There's something about snickerdoodles!

I'm going to have to check that cupcake cookbook out - thanks for the tip!

yummy!

Those snickerdoodles on that blue plate are so enticing. Also, have you ever thought of being a hand model??

I found your blog today and absolutely love it. I swear that if I start getting into knitting and sewing, it's all because of you. I had to go back and read all your entries...they were so charming.

And the photos are great. I especially love the one where your daughter models her new vest. So cute!

YUM. These photos are so great!

I'm a big fan of the Spectrum shortening. I figure, if you need to use saturated fats (and sometimes you really do), might as well use the kinds that grow that way! And Palm and Coconut are so happy to oblige...

i'm thinking that cookie of the week could be a hit at my house.

and i've got a tub of that spectrum shortening in my cabinet (left over from birthday cake frosting) and have been wondering what to do with it.

now i know! thanks leslie.

yummy yummy !

What a great idea, my kids would love that. Aren't you a lovely mum! Is Crisco oil or something else? I'm just wondering how that translates to Aussie products.

Those look delicious! Snicker doodles are my favorite!

That is a beautiful plate for a yummy looking cookie. I might have to peruse that cookbook.

Chalkboard paint is a fun idea. I might have a spare wall for it (a kitchen cookie board maybe), but a whole house with chalk dust. I'd be seriously done in.

Looks delicious! I love snickerdoodles and I love tiramisu!

Snickerdoodles ALWAYS take me back to my childhood. I use to love it when my mom made them. The house would smell so good and it made me feel all safe and loved inside. Mmmmm. Home.

interesting cupcake. It would be even better with a little crumbled taco beef on top. JK> :-)

snickerdoodles have to be one of my favorite all time cookies! thanks for the tip on shortening at Whole Foods - I'll have to get some....

that cupcake - oh my gosh!!!

snickerdoodles.
wow. i can't remember the last time i had those. or even heard that word.
they look delicious.

yum! i love well made tiramisu (get it wrong and it is really bad) and that cupcake looks delicious! so do the snickerdoodles!

CAKE!? CAKE!? if it has the word cake in it!! IT's ALL GOOD! OH.. how I love snickerdoodles too.... a welcoming flavor of fall!

Yummy!

Have a great weekend :)

Thanks for the cookbook recommendation - I have two very close friends that are vegan. And they both have birthdays in November!

Oh my goodness yum... yum I want that receipeeeeeeeeeee...lol and to think a vegan tiramisu.

Pretty little package of goodness she made for you! Tirimisu is by far my favorite dessert.Really looks like a good book.

I love what you guys had for lunch too. So good!

I have that cookbook and it is awesome! My son decided to try veganism (is that even a word?) a few years ago, and although it didn't stick, we still all love certain vegan recipes.
