#8 Vegan Sugar Cookies

These buttery cut-out cookies don't spread while baking, so they will keep their sharp, defined edges. With tender slightly chewy edges, thick soft but not too soft centers, and foolproof cookie icing they are perfect for any holiday or occasion.

#7 Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Naturally gluten-free, grain-free, perfectly chewy, buttery (but butter/oil-free), a bit cookie-doughy in the middle, and super yum. Mixed up and ready in under 20 minutes!

Hi there, Reader If my analytics are serving me correctly, you should only be receiving this if you live in Canada. I'm sure it's not foolproof though, so apologies if you live elsewhere, and feel free to file this away for future festivities! And now onto the subject at hand - I can hardly believe it's Thanksgiving next week! As usual, it's crept up on me out of nowhere, and I'm feeling a mild sense of panic.
