Sugar Cookies for Grandma

Hello anybody and everybody!



Today is National Grandparents Day, so I made my Granma some sugar cookies. But I hate guilty food, and my grandma belongs to weight watchers, so I made them healthy-style; thanks to Chocolate-Covered Katie

Now i think these cookies taste amaaazing! But my mom tasted one and thought they tasted like biscuits :( So what do you think, biscuit or cookie?


Sugar Cookies:
     (makes about 10)
3/4 c pastry flour
1/4 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/4 t plus 1/8 tsp baking soda
1/4 c Splenda
1/2 t pure vanilla extract
1 + 1/2 T milk
1/4 c vegan butter sub, such as Earth Balance (Some readers say you can use coconut oil, but I haven’t tried it.)

Combine dry ingredients and mix very, very well. 

In a separate bowl, melt the vegan butter, then stir in vanilla and milk. 

Pour dry into wet and mix again. 

Form balls or roll out (not too thin), then use a cookie cutter to make shapes. If you want soft cookies, you’ll need to get the dough very cold. (So roll the balls first, then fridge until cold.)  

Cook in a 325F preheated oven for 9 minutes. They will look very underdone when you take them out, but that’s ok!! Just let them cool for 5 minutes before touching. 
 

So maybe these cookies didn't work out. But its the thought that counts right? 

Cookie Tip: As a general rule, you should store soft cookies in plastic containers and crispy cookies in glass ones.
