I veganized my favorite sugar cookie recipe! Not only veganized, but improved and, if I do say so myself, awesome. So, in holiday celebration, shaping and sharing treats and the awesome "no animals harmed in my cooking" spirit, share it!
Sugar Cookies
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup Earth Balance or Smart Balance Lite (it's vegan too!)
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 tsp. vanilla (or a little more!)
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 egg substitute - Ener-G egg replacer or flax seed (1 T. ground flax seed, 3 T. water) if you don't mind seeing the flecs of flax in your cookie
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tarter
Cream sugar, Earth Balance, and oil. Add each ingredient and mix well. Refridgerate one hour. Roll out, cut shapes, or use a cookie press. Bake at 375 for 7-8 minutes.
Enjoy this soft tasty cookie!
Sounds good. It reminded me that I read on everydayfoodstorage.net a while ago that you can substitute beans into any recipe in place of butter. Just use the color that blends best with the item you're baking. I'd say white beans for sugar cookies. They're supposed to be about the same consistency as the butter when you cream them. I tried it once with white beans in brownies. They weren't fabulous, but for a first time shot they were ok. Anyway, it might be an easy way to get some fiber and protein in everyone's diet. Thought you might be interested. Have a great Thanksgiving! What are you eating, BTW?
