Just wanted to say thanks for another great book, and if I may be so bold, to put in a plea for a future little themed book: Vegan Appetizers!
One of the many things that keeps me from throwing house parties is the blank I draw when trying to think of what nice little munchies to put out for people. It would be great to have an arsenal of crowd-pleasing, impressive, even cutesy little finger foods (esp. ones at room temp) for such moments. This would also come in handy for pot-lucks.
Of course I realize you’re a busy lady, but it’s a feather to stick in your hat.

Sadly almond paste is near impossible to find here. At least I’ve had no luck. I found it in one store just before Christmas, but the first ingredient was sugar.

Almond paste is really easy to find here (Turkey), along with hazelnut and pistachio. Mmmmm….pistachio paste…Might have to think of a cookie recipe to go with that.

I am anaphlylactically allergic to pine nuts. Would it be almond overload to sub almonds on the top in their place? Or would you recommend a different substitution?

What I meant to say is can this recipe be done without margarine, for the reasons above?

This recipe caught my eye because I am trying to develop a rainforest-friendly cookie that does not use palm oil. Orangutans are being driven to extinction because their forests are being cut down in Borneo and Sumatra for palm oil plantations. I am developing the recipe for the rainforest-friendly cookie in connection with my book about orangutans, The Intimate Orangutan, which is being released in the U.S. in March 2010. I’d be glad to hear from anyone who can help me design this cookie, particularly if it can be low fat and healthy. I intend to post the recipe on the Internet when I finish. There is more information about orangutans on my website www.a-new-leaf.com. There is contact information on the website too.
