Chocolate Walnut Cookies

May 31, 2019 by Linda Watson 2 Comments

vegan chocolate walnut cookies

These are my new favorite chocolate cookie! I’ve tried many variations looking for an even healthier version of the previous winner, Hot Italian Cocoa Cookies. My updated recipe has half the oil, more cocoa, and walnuts for brain-feeding omega-3 fatty acids. The result? Rich chocolate flavor with a crunch from the nuts. The dough even […]

Chocolate Chip Cookies (Bonus Recipe)

These chocolate chip cookies are pretty much perfect. My recipe adds Cook for Good twists to the excellence of David Leite’s famous NY Times Chocolate Chip Cookies. Now they are healthier, thriftier, greener, and still conversation-stopping good. Think melting chocolate, buttery dough, crisp outside, and tender inside. Yowsah! These cookies cost just 53 cents each […]

Scarlet runner beans in chile sauce on brown rice with carrots and sunflower sprouts

These big, succulent, meaty beans almost need a new name. BeansPlus. BigBeans. BonanzaBeans. They might even be my new favorite bean! Wrap them in a smoky, richly flavored sauce to maximize their impact. If you can’t find these heirloom beans locally, you can order scarlet runner beans or grow your own. Hummingbirds and gardeners love the bright red […]

Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato

chocolate hazelnut gelato

My Taster wants you to know that Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato is his very favorite recipe. He wants me to know that too, so I’ll make it even more often. It’s inspired by the chocolate hazelnut gelato we had every afternoon while visiting Vienna last year. Think ice cream, but better. Amazingly, my home version of […]

Vegan Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

Chocolate Seduction Cake on a Happy birthday plate, with several pieces already taken

I thought my chocolate frosting could not get any better. After all, it makes my Taster do the Happy Dance every time I ask him to test it. But then I made three changes that created a creamy chocolate frosting that’s rich and deep, with just the right amount of sweetness. It has the round, […]
