Well I know I haven't posted anything in almost two weeks, but I have been cooking! I just haven't had the time to post. So I made the sugar cookies from TWD from the 9th of December and Im posting it now. I also have Crust less Cheesecake Squares that I have yet to even post, but I'm trying to do that today!

Im going out of town on Sunday to see my family up in Georgia for the holidays and I'm picking up my new bundle of joy. A puppy Blue Great Dane whom we are naming Georgia. Funny, since all of our danes have come from Georgia. I originally wanted to name her Bo Riley, but I lost interest in that name seeing as it just didn't look like it would match her. Then I picked out Syria, but then that didn't seem to fit either since from her description from Nightmagicpride Danes.

I made the sugar cookies but I had to change it to a vegan version of it since there are a few vegans at work and Im on a diet so little to no sugar!

I completely forgot to bring the pics to work so I can upload them now instead of tonight. So that will have to wait.

The vegan cookies were made with Tofutti cream cheese and Ener-G sustitute eggs. They came out PERFECT! Probably the only time cookies have ever come out like that for me.

I enjoyed some of these cookies while watching my new obsession...the US version of The Office.
That Jim Halbert is just so adorable!


I got the recipe off of this website which I absolutely love : Perfect Vegan Sugar Cookies

Taken from Johnandkristie.com:

PERFECT VEGAN SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE
This makes about 36 cookies.

1 cup margarine	3 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar	2 teaspoons baking powder
2 whole egg replacements (Ener-G)	1/4 cup tofu cream cheese (Tofutti)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1.	In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar. Stir in the egg replacements and vanilla. Gradually add the flour, baking powder and tofu cream cheese. You may have to use your hands at this point to finish the mixing. Form the dough into a long loaf and wrap in cellophane. Refrigerate for a couple hours.
2.	Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the cookie sheets or use a non-stick foil.
3.	On a lightly floured surface (we taped down a sheet of non-stick foil to our countertop instead), roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place about 1 inch apart cookie on sheets.
4.	Bake for 12 to 14 minutes in the preheated oven, until bottoms and edges just start to get light brown. Remove from baking sheet and cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container.

I did not add the glaze to limit the amount of sugar on these cookies. Instead I added Cinnamon and Allspice on one half of the batch and then I sprinkled sugar on the other half.

Enjoy. Ill be back to post those pics tonight!
