Vegan Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
These vegan, gluten-free stunners, which you can mix in one bowl without an electric mixer, have a candy-like crunch at the edges from caramelized brown sugar; a chewy, dense center from a mix of almond and oat flours; and a bittersweet speckling of mini chocolate chips strewn throughout. Adapted from Lee Farrington, LB Kitchen in Portland, Maine, they bake up sturdy enough for picnics, lunchboxes and mailing to far-flung, cookie-loving family and friends, but note that the sticky batter does need to be frozen before baking so plan ahead.
Vegan Gluten-Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Inspired by the vegan, gluten-free chocolate chip cookies that Lee Farrington makes at LB. Kitchen in Portland, Maine, these one-bowl delights are chewy at their centers, crisp at the edges and full of raisins and sweet spice. The batter is very sticky and needs to be frozen before baking so they don’t spread too much, but a couple of hours will do it. Feel free to substitute hazelnut flour for the almond flour for a deep, toasty flavor.
Blueberry-Lemon Almond Cookies
These citrusy, almond-y cookies are brimming with blueberries and yield a couple dozen cookies with minimal prep, which means you can share them and still stash enough for yourself. The tender, cakelike texture of the cookies evokes pound cake or a muffin top. A tangy glaze balances the sweetness of both the blueberries and the cookie itself. Try finding frozen wild blueberries if possible as frozen berries are often sweeter than fresh. Also, their smaller size makes them easier to incorporate into the dough and leads to more even baking, plus you get more blueberries per cookie. Enjoy these cookies with a morning cup of coffee, alongside your afternoon tea or ahead of your evening nightcap.
Sugar Cookie Bars With Berries
Draped in frosting and adorned with festive berries, these sheet-pan cookie bars are fit for a party. Browned butter and cream cheese give the cookie depth and richness, plus a pleasantly chewy texture. The fluffy vanilla frosting is a canvas for whichever berries look best at the market. If you like, dust the fruit with a bit of powdered sugar just before serving for a little extra flair. The cookie and frosting can both be prepared the day before your celebration, but you’ll want to assemble and dress with the berries the day you plan to enjoy this dessert. For the cleanest slices, use a long, sharp knife and gently cut through the berries and cookie base.
