As many of you know, I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with my second child and am trying not to eat everything in sight. As with my first pregnancy, my cravings tend to center around starchy things: potatoes, bread, bread with potatoes on it, and sweet baked goods. If you put a cookie in front of me, I will eat it. So while I’m still making sure I eat super healthful plant-based meals to nourish the baby, my free time is spent looking through recipes and writing down ideas for baked goods that I can make and then shove into my face. I do need extra calories, after all!
A couple of weeks ago I was craving almond cookies, so I made some, tried them, and decided they weren’t very exciting. They needed more flavor and more sweetness, which is where the cinnamon and sugar come in. I love cinnamon and almond butter on toast or apple slices, so why not put cinnamon on almond cookies and call them snickerdoodles???…
