It tastes like apple pie...
But I did not make apple pie!
I made apple pie cookies! Yesterday. Not today, but don't be surprised if I do bake cookies before 9:30 am. It can happen!
They look and smell amazing!!
These are one of the most delicious cookies I've ever made!!
I did experiment and tweak this recipe a tad due to my lactose intolerance/dairy free lifestyle.
That meant no white chocolate chips! ... =O Oh the horror!!
Also that meant no 10 tablespoons of butter..... Hot Damn! That's a lot of mother-freaking butter!
Instead I split it half & half between my butter substitute saviors: Earth Balance buttery spread and Coconut Oil.
I will admit it: I was totally scared to use the oil! I know it's a good fat substitute but I was silently freaking out that I might ruin these cookies that I've been dying to make! Especially since Nicole Hunn (author of Gluten Free on a Shoestring) advises against the tweaking of her recipes because her recipes have been perfected and if you mess with them there is a strong chance you will fail!
Well, I didn't fail! My mixture of butter and Coconut oil came out fine. And I think that with the chocolate chips these would have been too sweet.
I would like to try substituting some butterscotch chips if I could find them dairy free. It'd be like caramel apple pie! Can you say YUM?!
Scrumptious!
Ryan even complimented on how good they were. And Ryan can be a tough cookie to crack! Or crumble? ;)
Oh and by the way, I should totally be a food photographer because aren't those the most beautiful cookie pictures you ever did see?!
Am I making you hungry yet?!
Enjoy your day dreaming of these beauties!
