            Happily Serves 24

            ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

            COOKIES
            1/2 Cup Vegan butter or butter
            2/3 Cup Monk Fruit
            1 tsp Vanilla extract
            3 Tbsp Chickpea brine or flax egg, or 1 egg
            3/4 tsp baking powder
            1/4 tsp Himalayan Sea salt
            1 2/3 Cups gluten free flour
            2/3 Cup Almond flour
            1/3 Cup Arrowroot
            1 TBSP Almond or nut milk

            FROSTING (optional)
            1/2 Cup vegan butter
            1 1/2 – 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
            1/4 tsp vanilla extract
            1-2 TBSP Almond or nut milk

            Preheat oven to 375 and line baking sheets with parchment paper OR spray with coconut oil spray.
            Add softened vegan butter (not melted or cold) to a mixing bowl and beat/whisk until creamy and smooth.
            Add monk fruit and mix on medium speed until fluffy
            Then add chickpea brine (or other egg substitute) and vanilla and mix again.
            Add baking powder and sea salt and blend well
            Then add gluten free flour blend, almond flour, and arrowroot and mix on low until the ingredients are combined.
            Add almond milk and stir.

            The dough should be thick, moldable and a little difficult to mix at this point. If too soft, continue adding a mixture of gluten free flour blend, almond flour, and arrowroot until a thick, moldable dough is formed. If too thick, thin with a bit more almond milk.

            Transfer dough to the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes. Once chilled, use a spoonful of about 11/2 TBSP of dough and roll into balls – the dough will still be soft. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets and press down gently with the back or your spoon to smash slightly.
            Or you may roll out the dough on a well-floured surface until about 1/4-inch thick and use cookie cutters dipped in flour before pressing into the dough. Use a floured spatula to gently scoop onto baking sheets.

            Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before scooping and baking

            Bake cookies for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies appear fluffy.
            Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes.

            To make frosting, add softened vegan butter to a mixing bowl and whisk/beat until soft.
            Sift in powdered sugar in small amounts and mix, add the vanilla and whisk.
            Continue adding powdered sugar until you have spreadable frosting.

            Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before scooping and baking.

                1/3 cup cashew cream or vegan cream cheese
                2 large eggs (or flax egg)
                1/2 cup coconut yogurt
                3/4 teaspoon sea salt

                1 cup all-purpose GF flour
                coconut oil for frying pan

                TO FINISH:
                Crispy Sage Brown Butter:
                2 to 3 tablespoons butter
                A pinch or two of salt
                A few fresh sage leaves

                In a large bowl, whisk squash, yogurt, eggs, cheese, salt, pepper and baking powder until smooth.
                Add flour and stir until just combined. Batter will be thick.

                Heat skillet medium-low to medium.  Coat the bottom with coconut oil, and spoon in pancake batter,  flatten the pancake slightly.
                Cook until golden brown underneath, flip and cook until golden brown.
                Lower your heat, if it’s cooking too fast. If you’re worried pancakes have not cooked in the center, you can finish them for 10 minutes in a 250 degrees oven.

                To finish, wipe out frying pan and add butter (or you can use coconut oil), a Dash of salt and sage leaves, heating over medium heat. The sage leaves will crisp and the butter will brown in a minute or two so keep a close watch on it. Pour leaves and butter over pancakes

                To roast squash: For butternut or kabocha, roast it face-down on an a baking sheet sprinkled with coarse salt at 375 for 40 to 50 minutes, until tender.
