Planning: Sweet Treat for a Shower

Many times dairy-free cookies can end up dry. Monday night while attending Cafe Karen, a friend's weekly co-working event where friends can gather together while they work on individual projects, I tasted an amazing vegan cookie.

The source? An adapted recipe from Tartine.

Deluxe Double Chocolate Cookie Recipe from Tartine's Cookbook

I'm going to adapt the recipe some more, substituting coconut milk for the Silk Creamer Karen used and keeping the eggs. I'll let you know whether or not my dairy-free cookie was hit next week.

While this cookbook isn't dairy-free it's on my must get list. Why? Wander down Guerrero in the Mission one Saturday or Sunday morning. As you near the corner of 18th and Guerrero you'll probably see a bakery packed with people waiting for freshly baked items. On a good day, the line only stretches 20 people out the door. Tried, true, popular recipes.

How do you choose your cookbooks?
