Cookie Dough Balls

Hardwood mulch was on sale at Home Depot this weekend.  We bought 2 pickup truck loads of mulch.  We spread a bunch of mulch.  Now my bring upwards halt hurts, as well as thence bad.  I’ve developed a unopen personal human relationship amongst a bottle of Aleve.  Good matter I’ll sit down at my desk as well as run within for a few days.

We may non endure able to motion instantly but are happy nosotros got as well as thence much done inward the yard.  The garden is equally good coming along amongst beets, carrots, onions, spinach, squash, lettuce as well as peas already planted.  The peas are coming upwards as well as I can’t wait!  Love me roughly light-green peas 🙂

In between working difficult inward the yard, I whipped upwards a quick as well as tardily cookie to stimulate got around.  We were burning roughly carbs as well as thence a cookie was the perfect snack.  If you’ve read the spider web log for awhile you may notice I made these cookies 1 time before.  I adapted a recipe from Mama Pea (Sarah) blogging over at Peas as well as Thank You.  Mama Pea is a one-time lawyer turned stay-at-home mom, raising 2 beautiful daughters, developing vegan recipes as well as writing a cookbook.

The get-go fourth dimension I made these cookie dough balls, I used regular flour, butter as well as all the things y'all would commonly add together to a regular cookie recipe.  This fourth dimension I tried Mama Peas newly updated recipe for a gluten costless version.

I added regular, homemade butter since I simply happened to stimulate got roughly inward the fridge.  But I did become amongst gluten costless all-purpose flour, rice flour as well as xanthan mucilage instead of all-purpose flour.  I believe I’ve mentioned we’re trying a wheat costless diet for a piece to encounter what form of departure it makes inward the agency nosotros experience as well as our overall health.  I approximate if nosotros spread mulch everyday nosotros wouldn’t stimulate got to worry as well as thence much virtually what nosotros eat.  The master recipe is equally good vegan friendly so move along this inward heed if y'all e'er require it!

These are non similar average chocolate chip cookies.  They are made to gustation similar cookie dough as well as don’t spread out when baked.

Roll the dough into bite-sized balls as well as identify on a silpat mat or parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned on bottom.

Allow the cookies to residual on the baking canvas for at to the lowest degree 10 minutes.  These dough balls are really soft but theatre upwards 1 time cooled.  They sort out of melt inward your mouth.  Oh aye – they are delicious!

A squeamish mutual frigidness drinking glass of milk as well as a plate of cookies may deal sore muscles experience amend faster.  Just maybe.
