Asked by Wiki User

No you cannot! Egg whites will give you a better, light and sponge like texture. Using a whole egg will not give you the same result! So it's best to just whip your whites to stiff peaks and fold them into what ever your making for a better quality cake.

Bake the cookies for less time than recommended on the package or in the recipe. Shorten the baking time as much as you like according to your texture preference. Packaged cookie dough is usually reduced by 6-8 minutes. Homemade recipes usually require at least ten minutes off the suggested baking time.

Only substitute baking soda for baking powder if the cookie dough will be baked within 30 minutes of mixing. Baking soda begins to lose potency as soon as it gets wet so baking powder is used when the dough will be allowed to sit for a long time before baking.

Is is possible to make sugar cookies without butter or eggs?

User Avatar

Edit: Yes it is, but the taste is not the same. Sorry, considering the date this was posted this edit is very late.

Lactose free, egg free cookies recipes can be made. Looking for vegan cookies on Google is a good way to find recipes. Here is one I use.

1 cup sugar (white)

1 cup softened margarine

3 - 6 tablespoons milk (depending on flour type, just until you get a cookie like dough)

1 teaspoon of vanilla

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted margarine/butter)

1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

NOTE: For the cookie dough, I added a lot more milk, it depends on judgement, a bit sticky is better than dry though since you are rolling the dough out and will add more flour. It the dough looks crumby or dry at all, add more milk.

Take 1/3 to 1/2 of dough (leave rest chilled) flour surface and roll out to desired thickness.

Bake in 350F oven for a very short time!!! 3-6minutes only!!! depending on thickness, golden but not brown at the edges and rises slightly.

Recipe is a variation of one I found online somewhere. Can't remember. but I'm sure you could find if you search google.
