As someone who has a heartbreaking egg allergy, most traditional cookies and pastries are often verboten. Unless I bake them myself or go to a special bakery, I go without. (SOB!) So when I was tooting around the local Whole Foods last week, I saw this beautifully packaged refrigerated cookie dough on special by EatPastry. VEGAN! Yes. So I took it home to test it out. We bought the “Chocolate Chunk” Cookie dough after perusing the ingredients and being impressed with its lack of impronounceables.

Because it’s vegan, you can eat the dough unbaked, straight from the container — which is what we did. Heaven. Though they were fantastic in that form, there is nothing, I mean nothing better than a warm chocolate chip cookie from the oven — sprinkled with a touch of sea salt on the top. EatPastry has a wide range of more drool-inducing dairy-free flavors, like peanut butter and even a gluten-free chocolate chocolate chunk. West coasters can find them in their local groceries, but sadly, the rest of the states will have to be patient — they’re on their way soon. — Megan B.
