Cookie Dough (Lacto)

Tuesday, February 8th, 2005
Recipe : Cookie Dough (Lacto)
Procedure :

———————————-MIX WELL———————————- 1 c White Wave soy yogurt

1 c Applesauce (unsweetened)

2 To 3 c. turbinado sugar

2 t Vanilla

1 c Rolled oats (whole)

2 c Rolled oats (process in food

Processor to coarse flour) ——————————-SIFT TOGETHER——————————- 1 c Unbleached flour

1 1/2 T Baking powder

1 1/2 T Baking soda

1 t Salt

2 T Ener-g egg replacer

Combine mixtures. The baking soda should react somewhat, making the mass fluffy and easy to stir. Add more flour until a cookie dough texture is reached (I had to use ~ 2.75 c. total). Add chips or fruit or whatever. Shape into balls and bake at 375 until browned. They do brown, they don’t melt around the edges in that weird way that bad cookies do, and were considered entirely successful.
