SO HOW'D IT GO?
I tried making these last night and they turned out to be a disaster. I subbed applesauce and more pumpkin for the shortening. The consistency of these cookies was really gross. They were wet and chewy, but not in a good way. My husband and I each ate one and I'm pretty sure he only ate it to be nice. I ended up cramming them down the garbage disposal.
okay, so I just finished making these... I used half spelt flour and half white flour and flax "eggs", plus subbed applesauce for the shortening and added a bit of molasses.
So far, they're alright- rubbery, almost. Also, they stuck to my cookie sheet like you wouldn't believe, no matter how much I greased it! But the flavor is really good. I think next time I'll try half shortening and half applesauce.
First off, I halved this recipe. I only had so much REAL pumpkin left over from pie-making!
I also substituted applesauce for the shortening. I did not use any egg replacer.
These cookies are MARVELOUS! They taste amazing, and they are the closest consistency to a real cookie that I've had in vegan baking! These are not muffins! Just soft, chewy cookies! VERY close to traditional cookies! Awesome recipe! These WILL be made again!
