And now for the recipe!

Super-Easy Sugar Cookies
3/4 Cup Vegan Margarine
1 Cup Sifted Confectioner's Sugar
1 Tablespoon Ground Flax
3 Tablespoons Water
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, Sifted
1/4 Teaspoon Salt



Cream butter and confectioner's sugar in a large bowl until fluffy.
In a small bowl beat the flax and water together until frothy. Combine with sugar and butter, add vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, stir until a soft dough forms. divide dough into half. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out half the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out with desired cookie cutters. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.

Enjoy!

Cookbook Update!

I've been busy here writing my cookbook and testing recipes and so on, on to the update!
I have about 13 recipes so far, i'm aiming for about 75 or maybe 100.
The name: yes, i have a name. But for now, you'll just have to wait and see.

Here is one of my recipes, Mutt Munchies, i made them for my standard poodles because whenever i make baked goods, they always are begging for some and i feel bad because i can't give them any. Because most of the time i'm baking with chocolate and as you may know, chocolate is poisonous as well as, raisins, grapes, onions, avocado, macadamia nuts, mushrooms, persimmons, unbaked yeast dough and spices.
Enjoy!
