| Eggless Tutti Fruiti Cookies |
Prep time: 2-3 Hrs
Cook time: 13 Mins
Yields: 90 Cookies
Slice and bake cookies, rich and buttery, loaded with raisins and candied peel, with crisp edges and chewy center will become a hit with everybody, young and old.
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 and 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 5 teaspoons egg replacer powder (like Ener-G)
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 1 and 1/2 cups candied peel
Instructions
- In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg replacer powder, water and vanilla extract and beat well.
- Sift together flour and baking soda.
- Stir into the creamed mixture.
- Fold in the raisins and candied peel.
- Shape the dough into 3 two inch logs, wrap it in parchment paper/plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until firm. Use some all purpose flour on the cutting board while forming the logs.
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C for 15 minutes.
- Cut each log into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place it an inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. I baked mine for 13 minutes.
- Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and leave it for at least 5 minutes. The cookies will harden up. Then cool the cookies completely on the wire rack before storing it in an air-tight container.
My Notes:
- While cutting the logs into slices, get one log at a time from the fridge. Do not put all the logs outside because it sort of loses it's firmness and will be difficult to get neat slices. Even while cutting a log, you might have to put it again in the fridge for a couple of minutes to cut it again.
- I would also some chopped walnuts or any other nuts the next time I bake it. I'm sure it would be even better than the ones without nuts.
