Let me just tell ya. I ate this thing and I totally felt some inner harmony goin' on. Yep. That's because lemon and snickerdoodle are two of my favorite flavors and when you put them together, well, it created a bit of a harmonious party in my mouth. The texture was spot on for a snickerdoodle — chewy with a hint of crunch. And the natural lemon oil didn't overpower the cinnamon 'doodle taste.
By the way, you can get your own Intention Cookies on the Bountiful Vegan website. Or head over to The Urban Housewife and get in on Melisser's Intention Cookie giveaway.Speaking of cookies, I FINALLY made those Cookies 'n' Cream Cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World:
I don't know what I was holding out for, but I think these may be my favorite from the whole book. I've always LOVED Oreos, and I'm so thankful that Paul Newman's folks offer the non-scary ingredient version in Newman-O's (which I used for these babies).I made the cupcakes for my buddy Wes, who celebrated his 49th birthday yesterday!
Wes used to be my next door neighbor, but now we live one street apart from one another. He's like a second mom to me — cooking me dinner, babysitting my pets, and just being there whenever I need some conversation. Happy Birthday Wes!

Those are my favorite cupcakes! They're adorable.
OHMYOHMYOHMY!! Delish.

What a nice thing for you to do. Wes is a lucky guy and it sounds like he is really awesome to you.
I think I need to look into making those cupcakes, I am married to a Oreo Fanatic, it seems wrong to not try it out for him.
Terrific cupcakes! Happy birthday to your friend :)
man oh man, when i get some dough, i'll have to buy some cookies. sounds silly, because if i really had dough (literally) i'd be making cookies, wouldn't i?
NKOTB is totally capitalizing on the missed opportunities of our youth, and I'm totally okay with that. Whoever is booking their tour could use some geography tips though - from TN to CA in five days? That's pretty rough. Have fun tomorrow!
Happy birthday, Wes! I think I'd be feeling pretty harmonious if I had me one of those cookies...or one of your cuppers!
i almost forgot about the intention cookies! the harmony cookie lok soooo goooood! lemon + snickerdoodle has gotta be one rock’n combination! i too adore the mouth-feel of a snickerdoodle – it’s the absolute best! your cookie ‘n cream cuppies look marvelous, Bianca! when i found out oreos were vegan i didn’t really get too excited because the ingredients are like frankenfood or something – the newman’s owns rock so hard! happy birthday to Wes! w00t!
Lemon + snickerdoodle sounds fantastic. And those cupcakes! They look amazing. I have no idea why I haven't made them yet.
