Vegan Cookie
It’s not as hard as it used to be, several years ago, to get a vegan cookie that tastes really good. So many people are now choosing a vegan lifestyle or vegetarian diet that quite a few food companies have begun to supply numerous products especially for them. Most of these products are good-tasting but “home-made” is always better.
Those of you who have grade school age children know that you will get a request to bring cookies for the whole class at some point. You also know your child will remember to tell you about an hour before bedtime that he or she promised the teacher that the cookies would be brought the next day. This is one reason to have a good, quick and easy vegan cookie recipe to rely upon.
Snickerdoodles have got to be one of the all-time favorite cookies of kids and grown-ups. As a vegan cookie, they are delicious. There are two ways to make this vegan cookie. All you do is change the type of sugar in the recipe. If you use beet sugar, you’ll get the more traditional cookie. I prefer the ones made with turbinado sugar. Turbinado sugar crystals are large and you get a sweet, crunchy cookie.
The Snickerdoodle Vegan Cookie
1 cube (1/2 cup) softened butter substitute. I suggest using “Earth Balance” vegan buttery spread.
¼ c applesauce
¾ c sugar. Either beet sugar or turbinado sugar.
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 2/3 c flour
In a small bowl, mix together 2 T sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter substitute and the sugar. Add the applesauce and beat until creamy.
Sift together the baking powder, salt and flour. Add this about a third at a time, to the creamed mixture until dry ingredients are mixed in and you have nice stiff dough.
Pinch off pieces of dough and roll each around in your hands to shape into balls. Roll each dough ball in the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Put the coated dough balls on a greased cookie sheet. Using the heel of your hand or the bottom of a glass, slightly flatten the dough balls.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
Not only is this a delicious vegan cookie, but you and the kids can safely eat the uncooked dough. Enjoy.
