#wait no there is one chocolate one nvm. it's red velvet bc i like red velvet. i've discovered you can make it genuinely red if you flavor

fucking DYING i have decided i’m committing to the bit of making a bunch of xmas cookies for a SMALL holiday party some friends having this week and i’ve picked three and collectively here are my restrictions: gluten-free, no pepper, no caffeine, no dairy, maybe no eggs, no alcohol, no chocolate, vegan 

#yeah everyones gay why do you ask? #a lot of the allergens just make it default but the people who are vegan arent actually allergic #the caffeine thing stresses me out bc i feel like i might just sweat coffee therefore making me as the baker semi poisonous #alcohol comes up bc there's a lot of rum-flavored recipes and a ton of things with fillings have wine or brandy or baileys #i think eggs are ok if baked into stuff actually. but i probs wouldnt make anything custard based to be safe #pepper is only semi relevant here bc i think the person with this allergy might end up having some if their housemates bring it. this one #is less limiting in baking bc i really liked spiced desserts but i feel like those are less popular with my friends #i made these chocolate cayenne cookies a few years back. they were fun and they kinda stung #anyway really ive just settled on no chocolate no alcohol as the default #and making one recipe vegan and GF #bc like fuck it's expensive esp with making frosting and stuff and having to use vegan butter and egg replacement and fancy flour #wait no there is one chocolate one nvm. it's red velvet bc i like red velvet. i've discovered you can make it genuinely red if you flavor #it with red wine! but i will not do that here
