Sorry for the belated post

High everyone sorry its been a while since my first post but I had to get some of the ingredients to start this project of and that took some time since I'm on a limited budget.   Well hears the deal I still don't have the materials to start with the pastries that come out in the anime so for the next few weeks I'll be posting some easier to handle sweets instead.
For this post I decided to some simple sugar cookies. These cookies are a little different than most in that they do not use any dairy products or eggs. I found this recipe on the web mostly because my niece was diagnosed as lactose-intolerant and also allergic to eggs. Which really sucks because she loves milk and all sorts of sweets especially cookies. So if you or someone you know suffers the same fate then this is a recipe for you.

Egg-less Cookies:

Ingredients:
-1/2 lb. Butter (you can substitute this with 1/2 lb shortening (I used Crisco))
-1/2 Cup Sugar
-1/2 to 1 Teaspoon Vanilla ( to taste)
-2 Cups Flour (sifted)
-1 Teaspoon Water (note that you may need more water so have some extra just in case)

Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 375 F
2. Whip Butter (or shortening) and sugar on medium low speed until fluffy.
3. Fold in Vanilla
4. Add sifted Flour and Water to the Butter mixture. Mix until well blended.
5. Drop Batter by spoon fulls onto greased baking sheet. Or roll out cookie dough and use cookie cutters to create fun shapes if these are for kids ( that's what I did).
6. Bake for about 15 min or until light brown.

Well that's it for today next time I'll post up some pictures of the baking process as well as the finished product. Think I'll go with some practice Crepes in preparation for the first big project Mille-Crepe look forward to it.
