The Horse Knows the Way...

...to carry the sleigh down the long and ROCKY ROAD!!

The Christmas season has officially begun...and here at the VegBergers household that means that the baking season has begun as well. OK, we admit...it's always baking season here! But since Santa is on his way, we think it's safe to bake at least double the amount of treats that we normally do. Hey, the big guy needs his fuel!
For our first batch of Christmas cookies, we decided to make Rocky Road cookies based off Isa Chandra Moskowitz's recipe (made famous in the book "Vegan Cookies Invade your Cookie Jar"). These rich, chocolatey cookies are texture heaven! Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, full of almonds and chocolate chips. For the third mix-in, we chopped up Dandies Vegan Marshmallows (instead of white chocolate chips), which made the finished product deliciously oo-ey and goo-ey!
If we manage to keep any of these cookies in the house until Christmas Eve (doubtful), Santa will be a very happy fellow! After all, it's a rocky road out there!
Peace, Love, and Dandies,
Pam and KT
