This is a light almond cookie with vanilla frosting, not overpowering and easy to vape. I have been looking for a good cookie recipe for quite some time, but a lot of them are just very heavy on CAP Sugar Cookie, which I don't enjoy when too high in the mix.
Check out the DIYorDIE recipe review.

Flavor notes
CAP Sugar Cookie is at the heart of this recipe. I only use it at 3.5% to not overpower the rest of the goodness in here, and to make it light and easy to vape.
TFA Vanilla Swirl is the vanilla component. Because it's important to keep the Vanilla Swirl well below 3% to avoid an artificial/clinical taste, the component is complemented with CAP Vanilla Cupcake.
INW Shisha Vanilla and FLV Cinnamon Crunch give the recipe a delicious spicy note (not as in "hot" spicy, but as in "tobacco" spicy, if that makes any sense).
The almond component is constructed with FA Almond, FW Hazelnut and INW Marzipan. It's a great combination that works well in this context.
Finally, FA Meringue make the recipe light and fresh without using dairy. I tried the recipe without Meringue, and interestingly, it completely changes its flavor profile for the worse. It's essential in the mix.
Steep time
This recipe works surprisingly well as a shake and vape, but it gets better and smoother over time. One week is suggested. When steeped for longer than 2 weeks, the CAP Sugar Cookie looses a little bit of intensity; I initially had it at 3%, I bumped it up to 3.5% for that reason.
Interesting. I have the base components of this recipe right now, even the v2s!
Have you played with adding ap for texture yet? Used it with biscuit to make "toast", and I find sugar cookie to be very greasy!
What is "ap"?
Acetal pyrazine, if that's how it is spelt?
In my experience Acetyl Pyrazine adds more than just a layer of flavor to recipies. It can very much dominate the mix even when used at low percentages. The Boss Reserve Remix is a good example (I like that one quite a bit though).
It's a good idea. I might try putting it in a small batch, maybe at 0.5%?
Interesting the steep time you have listed when v2 versions are notorious for needing 1 month minimum and preferably 2...so, what a pleasant surprise this recipe is an exception. I have Inawera marzipan but I don’t think it’s the Yummy version so I hope it’s good enough. Thanks for sharing the recipe and hard work it looks great! ....;)
Is there a difference between sugar cookie v1 and v2?
Yes. You can use either. V1 is better but poisonous*. *May contain Acetyl Propionyl and/or Acetoin.
