-The Alternative Baking Company makes these ridiculously good vegan cookies the size of saucers. They come in a ton of flavors, and are almost certainly for sale at some place in Ann Arbor.
I spent most of childhood allergic to milk (among other things). My mom probably still has recipes somewhere. I could look around if you'd like.
...Sorry if I got a bit carried away there. It's just so rare that my obscure brand of food-allergy-derived knowledge actually has relevance in the real world. This is an exciting moment for me. (If you ever discover that you can't eat wheat, let me know.)
