Recipe Introduction

An allergy is your body's reaction to something that doesn't bother most people. You can be allergic to an animal, flower, plant, food, insect - or even the dust in your own house. If more people seem to suffer from allergies in the spring, it's because of all the things growing in their yards. But, are grass and pollen the biggest culprits? No. The one substance that causes the most problems is mold.

ROD 5/20/2006 Allergy Alert Day Rolled Maple Sugar Cookies (for people with allergies)


Rolled Maple Sugar Cookies (for people with allergies)


1 1/2 teaspoons Ener-G Egg Replacer
3 tablespoons rice or oat milk
3/4 cup oat flour, plus more for rolling
3/4 cup barley flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup maple sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Currants or raisins, for decorating (optional)
Dairy-free chocolate chips, for decorating (optional)
Unsweetened coconut flakes, for decorating (optional)





Recipe

1. In a small bowl, whisk together egg replacer with 2 tablespoons rice milk; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together oat and barley flours, salt, and baking powder; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream shortening and sugar until blended. Add egg substitute mixture, vanilla extract, and remaining 1 tablespoon rice milk; mix until incorporated. Add dry ingredients; mix until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula if necessary.

2. On a work surface, gather dough and form into a disk. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

3. Preheat oven to 375°. Place chilled dough on a lightly floured work surface; if dough seems dry, sprinkle with a few drops of water and knead gently to work in. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using 3-inch alphabet cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes. Firmly press currants, chocolate chips, or coconut flakes onto cookies, if desired. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat; bake for 8 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack to cool; let cool completely on sheet before removing.
