Traditional Sugar Cookies
3/4 cup vegan margarine (I use Earth Balance)
1 cup sugar
2 Ener-G Egg replacer "eggs"
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups all purpose or pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1. Combine margarine and sugar with a fork until creamy/fluffy. Add "eggs" and vanilla or lemon extract.
2. Separately, combine dry ingredients. Blend into wet ingredients 1/2 cup at a time. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out 1/8" thick. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters or with the rim of a jar or juice glass. Grease or parchment paper cover cookie sheet.
4. With a spatula, move cookies to prepared cookie sheet Bake 6-8 minutes or until golden. If you'd like, you can put sprinkles on them just before baking.'
SO HOW'D IT GO?
Just pulled these out of thee oven. Followed the recipe to the letter and they are to die for!!!
These came out great. I made pumpkin shaped ones for Halloween, the only thing is that I used whole wheat flour rather than all purpose so they had a bit of an "earthy" texture but still delicious.
Its true that they are not super sugary, but thats fine with me because I don't like sweets that are too sweet (unless its chocolate I suppose), plus when you add the sprinkles they get sweeter.
Best of all the ingredients are super simple, which is exactly what I wanted. No tofu, no shortening, just stuff I had already in my pantry. :) Thanks so much!!!
Also I just wanted to add: this made about 16 medium size cookies for me. Good for sharing!
thank you I will look on the internet.
I got mine at a Canadian store called 'the bulk barn'...not sure if they exist in the US
little piggies look so cute, I must try to find that cookie cutter.

I made these for work in Easter bunnies shapes & they were a hit! I actually liked them not being as sweet....especially once I added a powdered sugar glaze they were plenty sweet but not overpowering. For the glaze I took some powdered sugar, about 1 tsp egg replacer, 1 tsp vanilla and added water until it was consistency of a thick glaze and then separate and add food colors, etc for cute shapes :)
For being sugar cookies, these aren't very sugary. This recipe isn't bad, but it leaves something to be desired.
