Alternative Baking Company Cranberry Orange muffin cookie.
This cookie is so good. I know they have a ton of other cookies but this is the only one I've tried and it's delish. The first time I tried this cookie, I didn't even know it was vegan until Rey mentioned it a few days ago.
No dairy, no eggs or refined sugar and they still manage to have a great sweet cookie recipe. Now if only they sold them in a dozen for less than $2 each cookie! You can easily find these cookies at Whole Foods and Keva Juice.
Here's some info on veganism off the alternative baking company website, http://www.alternativebaking.com/index5.cfm
What is veganism?
In it's truest sense, being vegan (pronounced VEE-gun) is much more than not eating animal products, such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, honey, or their derivative by-products (gelatin, whey, lard, etc.). In addition to diet, vegans also exclude animal products and products tested on animals from their choices in clothing, toiletries, cosmetics, household products, etc.
Veganism is a complete lifestyle, a way of thinking and of interacting with the world. Being vegan means consciously and actively taking steps to live peaceably (cruelty-free) with other species, our environment, and ourselves. It is a way of living which seeks to exclude all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for the purposes of food, clothing, experimentation, entertainment or sport.
Donald Watson coined the word vegan in England in 1944. In response to the rejection of a proposal to form a non-dairy vegetarian subgroup of the Vegetarian Society in Leicester, England, Watson and several other members of the Society decided to form their own organization. The term vegan was derived from the word "vegetarian", using the first three letters (veg) and the last two letters (an), because, as Donald Watson explained, "veganism starts with vegetarianism and carries it through to its logical conclusion."
