These vegan oatmeal cookies went on an epic journey, braving the US postal service, to get to my friend Kelli.
After a lot of comparing, I went with this recipe, using peanut butter and walnuts, substituting dried cherries for the chocolate chips, and adding a couple teaspoons of cinnamon (because it is my go-to secret ingredient).


The problem I’m beginning to notice with taking pictures of baked goods: I take the same pictures over and over.

More dramatic pictures often seem silly.

Plus, the models have an unfortunate tendency to disappear quickly before I can dream up more creative shoots. Maybe I’ll have better luck in the future? I am contemplating cut-paper backdrops or something (anything!) to mix it up a little. Possibly this is absurd.
