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.
