Sugar or Roll Out Cookies-vegan too!

NOTE: 

It's best to use a kitchen scale whenever possible. If you don't yet own a scale, these recipes are based upon 'lightly packed' measuring cups, so whether you use the 'dip and sweep' method of measuring or the 'spooning into the cup' method, always gently press down on the mix in the measuring cup and add more to fill the cup, as necessary. One

1 cup of Bakery Mix equals approx. 125g.

SWEETENERS VARY tremendously and will affect the outcome of all baked goods.

We suggest using our new sweetener blend, S'WEEET! Baking Blend, real sugar, or a substitute such as Lakanto's Baking Blend, or Mrs. Jones blend (which contains sugar). Allulose (S'WEEET! Sweetener Blend) and kabocha-based sweeteners will make baked goods very soft, which is fine for most cakes but will also make cookies, bars and crusts super soft and not crispy or chewy. Erythritol (a sugar alcohol) can make baked goods firm and more crumbly. When substituting in a recipe it's usually best to do so by weight and not volume.

COOKIE TIPS:

1. We suggest using our new sweetener blend, S'WEEET! Baking Blend for our cookie recipes because we think it makes the best cookies!

2. If cookies are baked right after mixing they will spread more. If cookies rest they will spread and flatten less. If the cookies are refrigerated and baked cold they will be taller and not spread as much. Most bakers have a preference for each type of cookie/recipe.

3. We suggest baking off one cookie before baking the entire batch. This way, if you use substitutions (e.g. different sweeteners) or you don't weigh your ingredients, you can adjust the dough with a tablespoon more mix if the cookie is too flat, or add a little more soft butter or 1-2 tsp of liquid if the cookie doesn't spread enough.

VEGAN INGREDIENTS

1 2/3 C MULTI-USE BAKERY MIX (208g)

3/4 C S'WEEET! Baking Blend (105g) *see below for substitutions

6 T Soft or melted Palm Shortening (84g)

2-3 T Water or Milk of choice (45g)

1/2 t each Vanilla and Almond Extract

DIRECTIONS

1. Pre-heat your oven to 350°F.

2. In a medium size bowl, combine the Sweetener and Bakery Mix.

3. In another bowl combine the butter or shortening, egg white or water, and extracts and mix until well combined.

4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients together and let the dough rest in the refrigerator until firm enough to handle.

5. Roll-out 1/2 the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and cut into shapes (keep the other half in the refrigerator until the first half is done). NOTE: You can also roll into a cylinder, refrigerate and slice. Or, portion dough onto a lined sheet pan, roll into balls and gently press them down with your palm (the dough may crack when pressed if it's too cold, so bring to room temperature first).

6. Bake about 10 minutes.
