I'll probably be making another trip to Au But at some point so I'll pick up more semi-sweet Callebaut chips there. Oddly, their solid block is kosher pareve, but their chips are not.<br /><br />I cannot speak towards the Actor's motivations but I have informed him that you think he is trying to ruin Summerfest. ;)malt_sodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476007277473846157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31689883.post-70056737776950120722015-01-15T13:57:54.602-06:002015-01-15T13:57:54.602-06:00Sorry, I just commented without realizing you had ...Sorry, I just commented without realizing you had replied. Trace amounts of dairy is fine for me, because it's usually milk fats (not milk sugar). So as long as it's OK for people keeping kosher, then there's no problem.<br /><br />Last ditch effort: finding vegan chocolate bars and chopping them up.<br /><br />Why sugar cookies? Does he not feel like we have enough? Is he trying to ruin SummerFest? (Also, sugar cookies lack chocolate.)Améliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979366182990756619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31689883.post-29095665857472217532015-01-15T13:53:03.910-06:002015-01-15T13:53:03.910-06:00I looked it up, and Whole Foods does have vegan ch...I looked it up, and Whole Foods does have vegan chocolate chips, but they are not all vegan (and I don'T know if they are kosher).

(Did you know he once confessed on an Ornery board that he can't actually tell the difference between cheap/imitation ingredients and real/quality versions? He just acts like he can?) So yeah, let's only tell him on the last day. :)<br /><br />Maple flakes are bigger than maple sugar crystals. Maple sugar basically has the same consistency as brown sugar (perhaps a little drier), but the flakes are... about the size of the clusters of stuff in Honey Bunches of Oats? Like, bigger than sea salt, but smaller than Corn Flakes. I've seen them at Metro, but it's been a while. I know you can get them online, too. They are really good, and you can use them to top oatmeal or yogurt. They usually come in packets that contain maybe 1/2 cup.<br /><br />Chocolate chips: here, I usually buy Ghiradelli, though they do have trace amounts of dairy. I just checked on a package of WF's 365 brand, same thing, and Hershey's too. Maybe Google can help you find a brand that is also allergen-free and sold in Quebec?Améliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979366182990756619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31689883.post-70851793846246019582015-01-14T08:42:42.407-06:002015-01-14T08:42:42.407-06:00I think the legal chef would be aghast at the idea...I think the legal chef would be aghast at the idea of vegan chocolate chip cookies.<br /><br />What's the difference between maple flakes and maple sugar? I have maple sugar but I don't know that I've ever seen maple flakes.<br /><br />Also, what kind of chocolate chips do you use? It's getting harder and harder to find dairy free (pareve) chocolate chips here. Even the Callbaut ones I buy have trace amounts of dairy.malt_sodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476007277473846157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31689883.post-35141488794679052262015-01-13T17:47:35.323-06:002015-01-13T17:47:35.323-06:00I'm all for it!

And I'm all for adding maple to our previous winners, just to make things interesting! Plus, maybe we should do the 36-hour cookie with butter this time (even though it won last time already, with margarine).Améliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979366182990756619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31689883.post-38347854807309553622015-01-10T16:55:00.601-06:002015-01-10T16:55:00.601-06:00Well we do need some new contenders for this year&...Well we do need some new contenders for this year's Summerfest!malt_sodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476007277473846157noreply@blogger.com
