It's a humbling experience to try to bake using an ingredient set you've never been stuck with before - evinced by a series of catastrophic failures! Sugar cookies that were too crumbly to cut into shapes, brownies that resembled a molten tar pit.. but I finally had a success.
Here's the recipe!
Molasses Raisin Cookies
(from Ener-G)
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
Preheat oven to 325 deg F.
Ingredients:
2C + 2T Whole wheat pastry flour (or all purpose)
1 t Ground ginger
1 t Cinnamon
1/4 t salt
2 t Baking Soda
1 t Ener-G egg replacer
1/2C Soft shortening, eg. Crisco
1/2C Granulated sugar, eg. Evaporated cane sugar or Turbinado
1/2C Molasses
1/4C + 2T Water
1/2C Packed raisins
Directions:
- Sift or mix flour, spices, salt, and baking soda together.
- In a mixer or with your [beastly] hand-power, cream together the shortening, sugar, molasses, and egg replacer.
- Stir flour mixture into shortening mixture, a little flour at a time. No flour clouds!
- Stir in the water and raisins until absorbed and well-distributed.
- Grease cookie sheets and drop Tablespoons of batter 2" apart or more. Aim for 12 or less per sheet.
- Optional: flatten cookie balls with a spatula and put some festive sprinkles on [green for St. Paddy's Day!].
- Bake 13-15 mins.
- Remove from oven and let cool on wire racks [heat transfer via air] for 5-10 mins.
- Enjoy!
