1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 c butter or soy butter
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup raisins
½ cup walnuts
½ cup oil

CHOCOLATE CHIP JUICE SWEETNED COOKIES

½ cup old fashioned oat meal
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate or carob chips
1 cup walnuts
½ cup oil
½ cup thawed apple juice concentrate (or maple syrup)

Mix wet and dry ingredients separately, then combine. Flatten mixed dough to about ¼” on to cookie sheets and bake about 15 minutes at 375F

Balsamic Fudge Drops Cookies
 

Balsamic vinegar is the secret ingredient, but the only sign it's there is the deeper, richer taste it gives these cookies.

1 cup unbleached organic white flour or pastry (or use gluten-free baking flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons Earth Balance margarine or butter
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
2/3 cup granulated sugar or raw sugar
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup soy yogurt 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (see Note)
Vanilla sugar (I did this the quick way by pulverizing a vanilla bean with sugar in my blender)

Preheat oven to 350 F. Use 2 Saladmaster baking sheets.

Mix the flour, soda, and salt together and set aside. In another bowl, mix the cocoa with the sugars and set aside.

Melt the margarine in a 1 qt saucepan. When it is completely melted, take it off the heat and add the sugar/cocoa mixture and stir to combine. Then add the soy yogurt, vanilla extract, and balsamic and stir until mixed. Finally, add the flour mixture and stir just until it's combined—don't over-mix.

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop tablespoons of the dough onto the baking sheets about 1 1/2-inches apart. Sprinkle lightly with vanilla sugar, and place them in the oven. After 5 minutes, switch the pans around so that the one on top is on the bottom and the front sides are in the back. Check again in 4 minutes. Be careful—depending on the type of pan you use, they can go from underdone to burned in seconds (I found out the hard way!) They shouldn't need more than 11 minutes and will look soft on top, but they'll harden as they cool.

Remove from the oven and transfer onto cooling racks. Makes about 2 dozen cookies

Tofu Pumpkin Pie

1 can (16 ounces) pureed pumpkin 
3/4 cup raw sugar 
1/2 teaspoon salt

Almond Cream
3 cups water, divided 
1 cup whole almonds 
1/4 cup maple syrup 
3 T. agar-agar flakes 
1/8 t. salt 
1/2 t. vanilla 
1/8 t. almond extract 

In a saucepan, place 2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Add the almonds, boil for 1 minute, remove the pan from the heat, and set aside for 5 minutes. Drain and discard the water. Using your fingers, squeeze the almonds out of their skins and discard the skins. 
Transfer the almonds to a food processor and process for 1-2 minutes or until a fine meal. While the machine is running, drizzle in the remaining 1 cup water, and process an additional 1 minute. Line a colander or strainer with a double thickness of cheesecloth (or coffee filters) and pour the almond milk mixture through the cheesecloth to strain. 
In a saucepan, combine the almond milk, maple syrup, agar-agar flakes, and salt, and bring to a boil while stirring with a whisk occasionally. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 5 minutes while whisking occasionally, or until the agar-agar flakes are dissolved completely. Whisk in the vanilla and almond extract, and transfer the mixture to a glass container. Place a piece of waxed paper on top to prevent a skin from forming. Chill until firm, or overnight. When the mixture is firm, place in the food processor, and process for 1-2 minutes or until light and creamy. Taste and add additional vanilla or almond extract, if desired. Serve as a topping for fresh fruit, pies, cakes or other desserts.
