Eggless Cookies

Yes, you read correctly EggLESS cookies. Why did I even look this up? B/c I had no eggs and wanted cookies...it happens to be that everyone who wrote a review on it wrote the same exact thing! BUT I also looked it up b/c a good friend of ours has a daughter who has allergies to almost everything and is limited in what she can eat so~ I wanted to make something that she could have. In this recipe, I replaced butter with Smart Balance and our little friend had NO reactions to the dairy substitute and the eggless recipe! Hooray!

This cookie is so healthy I gave it to my lil' C right away and it was a hit with both the babies!

Eggless Oatmeal & Raisin Cookies

It was so~ easy to bake. I made them with a boy I tutor. He has Autism and we're working on life skills so for the past few months we've been doing kitchen safety and procedural reading of cooking instructions. We had a blast making these! This cookie received 4.5 stars on Cooks.com!!!

EGGLESS CHEWY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

Printed from COOKS.COM

---

This recipe calls for no eggs. If you have an egg allergy, or don't like eggs this recipe is right for you. No more buying expensive egg substitutes. The substitute is made with 3 simple common ingredients: baking powder, vinegar, and water. These cookies are great for those with an egg allergy!

2 sticks butter, soft (Smart Balance)
2 cups light brown sugar, packed (I did 1.5ish cups b/c all the reviews said that it was too sweet)
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup raisins, rolled in flour
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. vinegar (YES, vinegar! weird but you can't taste it at all! I used rice vinegar)
1 cup chopped pecans (optional) (I passed)

Preheat oven to 350°F.Combine sugars and butter. Add vanilla, water, and vinegar; mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and soda, followed by salt. Combine the two mixtures together. Add raisins, which have been lightly rolled in flour, and oats; mix together well. Add pecans if desired.
Roll dough in small balls with about 6-9 cookies per ingreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies won't look ready at 10 minutes but take out and let sit for 5 minutes in order to be chewy.

With this cookie, I actually baked it for the full 12 minutes and it turned out perfect.
