Easy Recipes

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoon baking soda

I was stuck at a friend's house making treats fora bake sale, when I decided to modify a simplevegan sugar cookie recipe into these darlings. Theyare soft and spicy and very very easy to make.

Stir together the flour, baking soda, and spicesin a bowl.

Cream the vegan sugar, margarine and applesaucetogether in a large bowl, then gradually stir inthe dry ingredients until mixed thoroughly. Ifit is too soft to work with, cover and chill inthe refrigerator for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Take out the dough and drop 1 tbs. per cookieonto 3 or 4 greased cookie sheets. To flatten,dip the bottom of a vegan wine glass in a saucer ofwater, then press down onto each cookie until itis thin and flat. (make them thicker for softercookies, and thinner for crispier ones - both aregood) Remember to re-wet the glass each time.

Note: I'm pretty sure you could roll these outand cut them with cookie cutters instead, butI've never tried it myself.

Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges arebrowned.
