Vegan Sugar Free Chocolate Rum Cookies
I love cookie swaps. They’re so fun. You show up with cookies of one kind and leave with cookies of a bunch of different kinds. I actually did one cookie swap with friends in December, signed up for one that Kathy planned, but ended up not being able to go, planned on the blogger swap last weekend that I also couldn’t attend, AND, signed up to do an online swap. Yea, like I said, I like cookie swaps.
I enjoy doing online swaps because you’re sending and receiving a bunch of one kind of cookie! I have participated in steph chow‘s jam exchange in the past, so when she said she was going to do a cookie exchange, I instantly signed up.
My partner in cookie-ing is Sarah. She’s vegan so I set out to find a vegan cookie recipe. I actually had a hard time finding something that looked good to me that was vegan that also wouldn’t require me to purchase some ingredients that I would never use again… But alas, I found this cookie that also happens to be sugar free. And it has rum in it! Even better. The cookies had a good chocolate flavor and actually reminded me of truffles or fudge with some rum thrown into the mix.

I made one of these once and it was grainy because I screwed up on the butter or something, your looks perfect! Must give it a try, thanks!
That looks SO good. French Silk pie is one of my favorites too, but I have never tried making it.
French Silk Pie is one of my favorites.. and it’s also one of my favorite blizzard’s at Dairy Queen! I’m going to have to give this a try..
I think I’ve had only one French Silk Pie in my lifetime. I must change that statistic haha. Your photos look fantastic.
Wow, that looks delicious! I’ve never made it before either, but I’ll have to give it a shot! And I feel your pain about the “big” sister thing…my little bro calls me shorty which took some getting used to : )
What a wonderful pie! It’s strange how I have no problem with the raw eggs in this pie, but they gross me out in spaghetti carbonara 🙂
I too love french silk pie, but have never made one. You did such a good job and made it sound simple, I will have to try making one.
This looks divine! I’m not much of a baker, which is why I love heading over to your site for inspiration!
Awww that’s so nice you baked it together 🙂 It looks amazing and so, so beautiful!
Sues
that looks so delicious!
Ive tried this pie and it was perfect. I didn’t make the crust because I needed it in a hurry so I just baked off a pie shell instead. It was breath taking. I so love this recipe.
