Sexy Vegan Mama: Frangelico Shortbread Cookies

Sexy Vegan Mama: Amaretto Sugar Cookies
For all Mr. Wright’s crazy mad skills, one thing he is not is a baker.

I’m heading over to Spokane for a book signing tomorrow. The event has promised not only my stellar wit and dramatics, but also cookies.

How did you celebrate World Vegan Day? What? You didn’t know November 1st is World Vegan Day? You’re kidding, right?
