First of all – the Man-Cub got one of those little packets of Oreos in his Trick-or-Treat bag. We made some salt dough and made an impression of the top of one of the cookies. Then we took a toothpick and changed the OREO to OVEG – do a mirror image thing here. Let it dry for several days – until it is quite hard.

Vegan Oreos or OVEG's
1 ½ c. flour – I used all purpose – but you could probably use rice flour too
¾ c. cornstarch
2/3 c. cocoa
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
½ t. salt
Whisk all this together in a medium sized bowl.
Then cream together:
¾ c. Earth Balance
1 c. sugar – I used turbinado
½ c. egg replacer goo – I bring ½ c. water and ¼ c. flax seed to a boil and then strain the goo through cheesecloth.
1 t. vanilla
Preheat oven to 350° . Add the dry ingredients to the wet - I used a heavy-duty mixer to mix this dough and it is quite stiff. Then make little balls of dough.

Dip your little cookie press in flour – you have to do this each time you use it or it will stick – then tap off the excess flour and press the little ball until it is quite flat. Oh, and make sure you use parchment paper to line your cookie sheets. The cookies are very thin and take only about 5 minutes to bake. Let them cool a little bit before you try to remove them from the cookie sheet.




While they are baking – make the filling.
Filling:
2 c. confectioner’s sugar
2 T. canola oil
1 t. agar agar powder
Approx. 2 T. water
Mix together and fill a pastry bag to pipe the filling onto the cookies. I’m sure you can just spread it with a knife too – but the Man-Cub loves the piping thing.


We got 51 ½ cookies from this batch – and from a little distance – you can’t tell the difference.

What a nice snack!
