Vegan Snickerdoodle Cookies



Above is the link to the traditional Betty Crocker cookie recipe. And below is the modified vegan recipe....


Vegan Snickerdoodles 
1 1/2 cups sugar 
3/4 cup vegan butter 
2 eggs worth of egg replacer 
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 
1 c regular flour
1/4 c ground flax 
2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
1 tsp cinnamon 
1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for sprinkling on top)
Directions:
Mix together sugar, butter and egg replacer. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. On top of each dough ball, generously spoon some of the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Bake in 400 degree oven 8-10 minutes

These cookies were fantastic! They looked, smelled and tasted like they were from a bakery.
My son and I experimented a little with the ingredients and found we really enjoyed a little more complexity in the flavoring that comes with the whole wheat flour and flax. The cookies were still light and soft though!
