Revamped Girl Scout Cookies: Vegan Peanut Butter Patties

Dr Joe — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:02:06 +0000

Forget about the partially hydrogenated palm oil and artificial flavors - this vegan peanut butter patty, inspired by the Girl Scout Tagalong classic, has all the buttery, peanut buttery, and chocolatey goodness of the original minus the animal products and unpronounceable ingredients. This recipe is definitely involved, but it’s a fun way to test your baking skills and make something you are truly proud of. Think of it this way - Girl Scout cookies only come out once a year so make this your special, annual treat. While it’s not necessary to temper the chocolate, you’ll see that it gives the cookies a sheen and snap that’s attractive and delicious. Untempered chocolate will “bloom,” meaning the fat of the cocoa will rise to the top creating a white, dull appearance (like the cookie on the left). If this happens to you, don’t worry! The cookies are still edible, so savor the efforts of your hard work. Click here to see the recipe.
