Cassie,

 

I checked my baking resource - The Joy of Vegan Baking by Colleen

 

Patrick-Goudreau. She does include a sugar cookie recipe ideal of

 

cookie cutting. It is a traditional chilled dough. However, I have

 

not tried the recipe but in general, sugar cookie dough can be stored

 

in the freezer (just thaw out in the refrigerator or just slice

 

without rolling and cutting into shapes) or refrigerator. For

 

obvious reasons, I can not reprint the recipe here but if you can't

 

buy your own copy of the book, check it out from the library.

 

 

 

The nutrition comes from 1) vegan, 2) the sugar option you choose

 

(and the amount of sugar you use - you may be able to decrease

 

quantities) and 3) your flour option. For example, try it with whole

 

wheat flour or 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat or use spelt flour. The other

 

great part is that the children can sample the cookie dough since it

 

does not contain raw eggs!

 

 

 

You can probably change the taste of the dough by switching out the

 

extract - vanilla or lemon or almond.

 

 

 

I am sure this recipe can handle in adaptations you make!

 

 

 

As for this baking cookbook - I can not say enough good words about

 

it. I have tried the pancake, waffle, chocolate chip cookie, jam-

 

filled muffin, chocolate cake, and vanilla cupcake, (more?) recipes

 

and have not missed on any of them! Talk about fool-proof (I usualy

 

have little hands helping, too!). All of the recipes have worked

 

even when I didn't have all the ingredients, had to substitute

 

ingredients, or when I added ingredients to our tastes. I have even

 

doubles and tripled recipes and while some worked better than others,

 

I still baked an edible and enjoyable item! The pancakes - the BEST

 

you will ever have! My oldest daughter requests them at EVERY meal.

 

The chocolate cake - SINFUL! The icing - better than anything else I

 

have made and I have decorated a lot of cakes for family birthdays

 

over the years!

 

 

 

I will check other recipes I have...

 

 

 

Danielle

pull out when needed.  Something like a shortbread or sugar cookie

 

would be great, as then I would be able to make some additions to

 

have a different batch each time.
