Next Month’s Wheat-Free Cookies: Oatmeal Raisin
Yesterday, we made test batches of September’s gourmet cookies: (Wheat-Free) Oatmeal Raisin. 
This is our fourth Wheat-Free cookie flavor, and they are amazing (I’m eating some right now)! Allison’s constant quest for more and more innovative and delicious gourmet cookies, brownies and confections is part of the reason we’ve been nominated for Favorite Vegan Bakery (Online), Favorite Vegan Cookie Company, and Favorite Vegan Chocolate in the 2010 VegNews Veggie Awards. Allison’s column “Veganize It!” is also nominated for Favorite Column.

(Wheat-Free) Chocolate Chip Pecan: Our Next Cookie Flavor
We’re super excited about our new (Wheat-Free) Peanut Butter Cookies! They’ll be the cookie of the month flavor coming up in July, and they’re fantastically wheat-free! In fact, we think they’re so great that we’ve already started perfecting our next flavor of wheat-free gourmet cookies: 
Chocolate Chip Pecan. These nutty cookies are one of our most popular gourmet cookie flavors, and we’re excited to have them re-created wheat-free. Even though they’re not the flavor of the month until October, Chocolate Chip Pecan is one of those flavors that’s so delicious we like to keep them available all year round. Keep your eyes out for a new “Wheat-Free Cookies” page coming to our website soon!
As our selection of Wheat-Free cookie and brownie options grows, we may start offering a Wheat-Free Sampler like the Baker’s Choice Samplers we offer now. Would you be interested in a Sampler containing all Wheat-Free cookies and brownies?
Fun in Allison’s Kitchen
Last week Allison and I had some fun in the kitchen making a special batch of gourmet cookies for Allison’s father-in-law’s birthday. She called them “Stephen’s Special Ginger Cookies,” so I initially thought we were making something like gingerbread or gingersnaps. But no, these cookies were like nothing I’ve ever had and they were outstanding! Imagine vanilla cookies (think chocolate chip cookies minus the chocolate chips) but as part of the wet ingredients we added several tablespoons of fresh ginger juice. Allison custom-made these sweet, spicy and delicious cookies just for Stephen and I’ll bet he’s enjoying them right now. Although it can sometimes be hard to find perfect gifts for people we love, I have to say, it’s hard to go wrong with gourmet cookies!
Question: If you could have your own custom-flavor, what would your request be?
The Flavors of Summer
It feels like spring here in Northern California, which makes me start looking forward to long days of summer fun in the sun. For all you cookie monsters out there, here’s a little sneak preview of some of our 
gourmet cookie flavors coming up in the summer months.
May kicks off the summer season with Coconut Key Lime cookies. There’s nothing like mild coconut and tangy lime to whisk you away to an imaginary tropical paradise. June’s gourmet cookies will be Mint Chocolate Chip, a perfectly sweet refreshing flavor for the hot days of summer. July goes classic with chewy peanut butter cookies just like the ones mother used to make. Here’s to planning ahead… we have your summer sweet tooth all taken care of.
February’s Flavors
Looking for a Valentine’s gift that isn’t as predictable as a box of chocolates? Consider gourmet cookies or brownies, instead. February is just around the corner, and we’re already swooning over
the upcoming flavor options. February’s cookie of the month flavor is Double Chocolate Chunk and, believe me, you won’t want to miss these gourmet cookies. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, these soft chocolate cookies are loaded with smooth chocolate chips for a complete chocolate experience. Continuing on the Valentine’s theme, Cherry Chocolate Brownies are also here in February, offering sweet cherries lovingly embraced by rich dark chocolate. Share the love!
