These gorgeous cookies are Lolo's latest creation over at VeganYumYum. The delicate creations are definitely a labor of love - she baked them and then shaped them herself - but they look totally worth it.
I like Lolo's recipes because she takes chances with her food, swapping butter and whole milk for Earth Balance and soy milk and coming up with mouth-watering results. That's what she did with these cookies, substituting in Earth Balance and what she calls "flax egg," a mixture of ground flax seed and water, and then baking them and quickly shaping them when they came out of the oven.
Lolo filled her cookies with soy almond pudding and strawberries (and chocolate jimmies) but you could fill them with anything you wanted, or dip them in chocolate, or smother them in berries and cream...

Cupcakes, not for dessert (unless beef is your idea of a treat)

FYI - As a New Englander I too always used the term "Jimmies" but recently found out that it is a racial slur! The PC term is "Sprinkles". The more you know....

Wow! This looks like something that would trick a non-vegan into believing he/she just ate a fatty, indulgent dessert. I'm especially stoked this "flax egg" concoction, because I can't eat eggs, and that basically means no baked goods.

Was anyone else's first reaction "WTF? Why are those covered in ants?! ... oh, wait."
Or was that just me? -_-'

It's still a fatty, indulgent dessert - perhaps not AS fatty as some other things you might indulge in, but certainly something to be enjoyed in moderation.
It IS, however, cruelty-free, which I find to be the tastiest part of all of Lolo's recipes.
