Halloween 2013

I can't believe its already November, where did the time go?! October was such a wonderful month full of fun times like Austin City Limits Music Festival, fall shopping and of course Halloween.

These beautiful flowers were a wonderful surprise from my sweet husband. They really help bring fall vibes into my home and they lasted forever!

Of course you cant have Halloween without jack o lanterns, I  loved having these little guys hanging out on my door step.

My husband and I were decaying zombies for Halloween. Can you believe all I used was Kleenex and liquid latex to create those gruesome bloody wounds. 

I made these vegan chocolate chip cookies for a Halloween party, and they were a hit! 

Even though I'm suffering from a bit of post-Halloween depression I'm so excited for the holiday season to start!

Vegan Snicker-doodle Cookies

Fall is slowly approaching so naturally I've been craving all things associated with this cozy time of year.I do heaps of baking during the fall and usually have a craving for all things pumpkin and cinnamon flavored. These snicker-doodle cookies are absolutely delicious and are so fun to make! Happy baking♥

Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheet with parchment paper. 

For the cookie dough:

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup corn starch

In a small bowl combine all these ingredients, whisk and set aside.

In a larger bowl combine:

1 stick(4oz.)of softened vegan margarine

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup non-dairy milk (vanilla flavored is best)

Once mixed add in the flour mixture and beat till smooth.

For the cinnamon-sugar combine:

1/2 cup sugar

2-3 tbs cinnamon

Once mixed shape dough into about 1 inch balls and roll it around in the cinnamon-sugar goodness!
