Tomorrow (today) did indeed bring a snow/rain mix. I've been staying in mostly today, catching up on two weeks worth of missing posts for my photo-a-day blog: seules le simages, and eating some vegan cookies that I made yesterday morning.
Icing: (I had made the icing a few days earlier and had it refrigerated)
Ingredients
- 8 peppermint candies
- 1/2 stick buttery type spread
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 2 TBS soymilk
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
Directions
1. Unwrap the peppermint candies and crush them in a bowl into powder using the bottom side of a sturdy glass jar.
2. Heat the "butter" and soymilk in a saucepan on low to melt the margarine.
3. Stir in the other ingredients.

Cookies:
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 TBS cornstarch
- 1/3 cup palm oil
- 1 tsp lemon
- 1/2 cup soy milk
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- dash vanilla sugar
Directions
1. Mix all ingredients.
2. Roll into balls and flatten in your palm.
3. Place on a baking-paper lined cookie sheet.
4. Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes.
*Icing can be added after baking or before. If the cookie is baked with icing on it, the icing seeps into the cookie, giving it a chewier texture.
