Bourbon thyme chocolate chip cookies

I dunno about you, but we’ve been having a pretty weird start to our spring over here in New England. Recently, we got a good few inches of snow and were this close to having an actual snow day on the fourth of April. Crazy, right? I hadn’t heard about the impending snowstorm and thus was convinced I was hallucinating for a good five seconds when I woke up this past Sunday and saw a blanket of snow covering the ground. Because it couldn’t possibly have snowed, since it was lovely all week and now there all this white stuff everywhere and what happened, exactly?

Anyway. That was fun.

Vegan alfajores

With December’s arrival, it is now undeniably and officially Christmas season; and that means the deluge of cookie-baking that commences around this time every year can begin. Yay! I don’t know about you, but I’m pumped.

To start things off, today I have for you a very special cookie recipe, based off the traditional Spanish / Latin American dessert called the alfajor.
