(?!?!?!) <br /><br />i added about a cup or even more of soymilk to the cookie dough until it resembled a cake like batter. (looking back on this now i dont even know what the heck i was thinking at the time). i think the problem is that i didn't read the recipe the entire way through and i was just so completely clueless. i went to "scoop" spoonfuls of dough onto the pan and *obviously* it wouldn't work so i just dumped the entire thing into a pan and baked it. <br /><br />i ended up with a fluffy banana chocolate chip cake thing so i guess it wasn't that bad but seriously. . . not even close to a cookie. <br /><br />thanks for that trip down memory lane. . . look how far we've come! these cookies look so pretty. i don't even really know what a marcus cookie is but now i'm licking the computer screen.

Veg...Try this! It has worked for me several times.<br /><br />Vegan Lemon Curd<br /><br />3/4 cups canned coconut milk<br />1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice<br />3 tablespoons cornstarch<br />1/2 cup granulated sugar<br />1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />1/8 teaspoon turmeric<br />1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest<br /><br />In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the coconut milk, lemon juice, cornstarch, sugar, vanilla, and turmeric for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is warm and starting to get steamy.<br />Reduce the heat to low and stir for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Once the mixture is thick, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest.<br />Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap touching the top of the curd, and refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068944344421482163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194968492084802592.post-10459144959865576962013-06-25T15:23:28.346-04:002013-06-25T15:23:28.346-04:00Totally the same!

I mean, it's hard enough with homemade recipes to get it right, but subbing out ingredients (even the brand of baking powder and lack of her oven) can become a complete mess. My current nemesis seems to be lemon curd for some reason. Hey, at least I triumphed over the pancake "issue" I had.

I remember trying to veganize my mom's classic chocolate chip cookie recipe, and while the end results weren't disastrous, they were a bit hard- A far cry from the soft, chewy, and buttery originals. Practice (and a solid formula) makes perfect. ;)Hannahhttp://www.bittersweetblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
