The following recipes are from Tofu Cookery by Louise Hagler. I have to
say I haven't tried them, but since I've now read them, I want to.
GINGERBREAD CUT-OUT COOKIES
Blend in a food processor or mixer until creamy:
1 c. sorghum or molasses
1 cup tofu (1/2 lb.)
1/4 c. oil
Mix together in a bowl:
3 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
3 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/8 tsp. cloves
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and pulse or mix until blended. Do
not over-mix or the cookies will be tough. If you are mixing with a spoon,
you may have to use your hands to mix the last part. Chill the dough
overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 Deg.F.
Roll out the dough 3/8" to 1/4" thick. Cut in desired shaped and bake on
oiled cookie sheets for about 8 minutes.
Per very large cookie: 275 calories, 6 gm protein, 7 gm fat, 47 gm
carbohydrates.
CREAMY GLAZE TOPPING (from a cake recipe)
Blend in a blender until smooth and creamy:
1/2 lb. tofu
1 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
3 Tbsp. honey
1/4 tsp. salt
my suggestion: For a firmer texture, try confectioner's sugar instead of
honey.
another suggestion: Strawberries could help with the pink look.
