vegan apple cinnamon cookies

these cookies are my own recipe and boy are they delicious (if i do say so myself). Actually, my family loves these and they usually hate vegan food, just saying.

ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
<1/4 cup applesauce
<1/2 cup oil
1/2 tablespoon vanilla

preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit

mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. then mix in applesauce, oil, and vanilla.
roll out dough on a lightly floured surface. cut with cookie cutters (preferably heart shaped for obviously reasons).
bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 6 minutes.

makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Some Nice Things


How wonderful is Niotillfem's hair-bow? It's so sweet and cute. I instantly knew this would be something we're going to have try on you, Jasmine, for our next play dress-up/hairstylist day. She used this video, and it totally looks doable, so psyched!







From calivintage, came across another cute fashion blogger, Kennedy Holmes. Pillbox hats are way too cool.





And tinydoll's petticoats have reminded me of how much I love pretty things made of layers and yards of ruffles, lace and lots and chiffon. So nice. Here's her flickr, that she posts her creations on...I really want a petticoat like this. They remind me of the creme colored one you made. I think I'd have to wear it under every dress, like everyday, they just look like too much fun.
