Simple Sugar Cookies

Print

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup oil
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
Egg Replacer equivalent of 1 egg
Cinnamon and sugar, to coat

• Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Mix the wet ingredients in a measuring cup (make sure they’re blended well).
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using your hands, form the dough into a big ball. (If it sticks together well, then it’s the right consistency. If not, add a bit of water and mix it well.) Form the dough into cookie-sized balls and roll them into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each ball a little bit.
• Bake at 375°F degrees for about 7 minutes.

Makes about 18 cookies

What should they look like when they are done? It doesn't look very brown or anything different from when I originally put them in. 7 minutes turned to 12. . . I dunno. . . ? I'm not greatest in the kitchen.

To avoid any controversy and for a more nutritious substitue (barely) I opted for agave nectar rather than cane sugar and it turned out just fine. I used the banana as an egg-replacer and it was fine, too. The conversion is for every 1 cup of sugar use 2/3 cup agave nectar.

Hi Annabelle - check out this link for our stance:http://www.peta.org/living/vegetarian-living/tiny-amount-of-animal-products-in-food.aspx However, if you'd like to only use sugar free of bone char, there is a list here: http://www.peta.org/about/faq/Are-animal-ingredients-included-in-white-sugar.aspx

I was under the impression that sugar (cane and beet) was not vegan because of the refinery process involving burned up animal bones used as an active carbon...Where does PETA stand on the use of sugar? I'm just curious.
