G is for graham cracker cookie, that’s good enough for me

I wanted to try a new cookie recipe with the boy over the weekend and started by flipping through my copy of Vegan Cookies Take Over the World.  I was going to make the gingersnap recipe until I saw the couldn’t.be.easier. recipe for graham crackers.

Alden’s buddies love their graham crackers – especially for the post daycare stroller ride home.  I wanted to make a version that Alden could enjoy too.  (I’ve since found out that at least one brand of commercial cookies is egg/dairy free.)

These cookies don’t quite taste like the store-bought ones, but they are equally delicious.  In fact, this recipe could easily fall into the cookie category since they are fairly sweet.  I tried making these cookies with Alden at the helm and didn’t get them rolled out as thinly as I would have liked.  Nonetheless, dough was eaten, the crackers were baked and there were no complaints… or cookie crumbs left by the end of the week.  A good sign.
