This dough makes a cookie that is crispy-chewy on the outside and a bit cakey-- but not dry-- on the inside. It's great! (This recipe is an adaptation of one in Louise Hagler's "Tofu Cookery".)

NOTE ON PREPARING THE COOKIE SHEETS: Since these are rolled in sugar to make a crispy crust and keep the insides moist, these cookies can easily burn. If you don't have the new double-bottomed cookie sheets, line your sheets with baking parchment or oiled brown paper.

Blended Ingredients:
8 oz. medium-firm tofu
1/2 c. corn syrup (or you can use a rice or fruit concentrate syrup)
1 and 1/2 c. granulated unbleached or white beet sugar
1 T. vanilla or other extract

Dry Ingredients:
3 c. pastry flour (white or wholewheat)
1 c. oat flour (blend oats in a DRY blender ), brown rice flour or other low-gluten flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
Additional Ingredients:
1/2 c. cold water mixed with 2 T. plus 2 tsp. powdered egg replacer

For rolling the cookies in: 1/2 c. sugar, Sucanat or cinnamon-sugar

Here is how you make Vegan WG cookies:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Combine the Blended Ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Whisk the Dry Ingredients together in a medium bowl. In a medium bowl, beat the water and egg replacer with an electric or rotary beater until like softly-mounded beaten egg whites. Add the tofu mixture to the egg replacer mixture and stir well. Add this to the flour mixture and mix thoroughly.Drop rounded teaspoons of the dough into the 1/2 c. sugar and shape them into balls with your hands. Place the balls on the prepared cookie sheets (you will need four, or do two batches of two pans each). Place the balls well apart and do not press down. Bake in the top half of the oven for 12 minutes. Cool the cookies on racks. if not eaten the same day, they should be frozen.Number of Servings: 26Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user 027703.
