If you’re anything like me, you love to have your freezer stocked with allergy friendly baked goods just waiting to get packed into your child’s lunchbox! Each time I make a cookie (like these Chewy Vegan Cranberry Orange Cookies), cupcake, granola bar or any other baked good, I freeze at least half of the batch for later. You never know when you’re going to need a quick dessert or holiday cupcake! Plus, I think it makes my son feel special that he gets homemade treats in his lunchbox each day. I know many of his friends look at his treats with envy even though they’re dairy, egg and nut free.
I’m always looking to switch the cookie recipes up a bit from the traditional chocolate chip. Lucky for my son and I, my mom made these delicious cookies and they were a huge hit! I love that she’s so willing to make allergy friendly baked goods for my son. She knows and understands his allergens and makes some of the best baked goods for him! She also makes a HUGE amount of safe food for when she hosts the holidays. If I haven’t told you lately, Mom, I really appreciate everything you do for us and love you tons and tons!!!
