YIELD: 12 COOKIES

If you’ve never tried a black and white cookie, you are in for a treat. These ginormous lemony beasts boast not one, but two flavors of icing: chocolate and vanilla.

½ cup + 1 tablespoon non dairy margarine

¾ cup sugar

½ teaspoon lemon oil or extract

2 teaspoons egg replacer powder (such as Orgran) mixed with 2 tablespoons water

½ cup potato starch

1 teaspoon xanthan gum

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

1 recipe Vanilla Glaze

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cream together the margarine and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add in the lemon oil and prepared egg replacement.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the besan, white rice flour, potato starch, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add it to the margarine mixture and then add in the nondairy milk.
  • Stir well to combine until a fluffy cookie dough is formed.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, drop the dough in 3-ounce balls onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving about 4 inches between each cookie.
  • You will have to make these in multiple batches as they need room to spread.
  • Bake for 22 minutes, or until edges are light golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • Prepare the Vanilla Glaze and frost one-half of each of the cookies with the vanilla glaze.
  • Let harden for about 20 minutes, and prepare the Chocolate Glaze.
  • Frost the other half of each cookie with the chocolate glaze.
  • Let harden completely, for about 2 hours, before serving.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
