Orange Vanilla Cookies

Warning: These cookies are VERY sweet!  These would also be tasty with orange and lemon zest as a citrus cookie as well.

1 1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp orange extract
1 egg replacer (I like to use 11/2 tsp flax)
Optional: 1/3 cup soy milk

1: Preheat oven to 375ºF
2: Very thoroughly mix all ingredients together, dry ingredients first, then wet ingredients.  Continue by adding soy milk (or water) one teaspoon at a time until mixture sticks together when squeezed (but is still a little bit crumbly).

3: Make the dough into balls, place on the cookie sheet and smash down with the palm of your hand

4: Bake on a non-greased cookie sheet for 7-8 minutes.  Watch the time; remove from oven when slightly browned on the bottom.

Makes: 18 cookies

Note: These are frosted with ready-made frosting mixed with a bit of Earth Balance.
