Soft Lemon CookiesIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegan margarine (I use Earth Balance Whipped)
1/2 vegan sour cream, such as tofutti
1/2 cup silken tofu (plain or vanilla soy yogurt will work too; I can't vouch for any
other egg substitutes)
2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoon lemon juice or 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Glaze Ingredients:
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions:Heat oven to 350 F.
Beat margarine and sugar until creamy.
Beat in the sour cream, silken tofu, lemon zest, and lemon juice/extract. Mix well.
Mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets sprayed with cooking spray or lined with non-stick foil.
Bake 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. Cool completely before glazing.
Glaze: Mix the powdered sugar and enough lemon juice to reach your desired taste and consistency. Frost the cooled cookies with the glaze. It may seem drippy at first, but it will firm up in a few minutes.
Serves: makes about 3 dozen cookies
