Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup low-fat firm silken tofu
1 lrg egg
(or equivalent egg substitute)
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Instructions: In medium bowl, combine both flours, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In food processor, process tofu until smooth. Add egg, sugar, oil and vanilla; process until smooth, stopping once or twice to scrape down sides of work bowl. Add flour mixture and pulse on/off several times just until dough clumps together. Transfer to lightly floured surface and knead several times. Divide dough in half and press each piece into shape of a disk. Dust each with flour and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.

Working with 1 disk at a time, on lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using cookie cutter, cut out shapes. Place cookies about 1/2-inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Gather scraps, re-roll and cut.

Bake cookies, one sheet at a time, until light golden around edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire rack and cool completely. (Cookies will keep in airtight container for up to 1 week.) Decorate with Royal Icing or No-Egg Icing. Let stand until icing has hardened, 30 to 45 minutes.

This recipe yields 32 cookies.

Comments: These whole wheat-enriched cookies will be best sellers at any bake sale. You can find interesting cookie cutters, such as kid-pleasing dinosaur shapes, in kitchen shops or craft stores.

Yield: 32 cookies
