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...

Or was that just me? -_-'

It IS, however, cruelty-free, which I find to be the tastiest part of all of Lolo's recipes.
