A Kinder, Gentler, Lower Calorie Sugar Cookie (Dairy, Egg and Nut Free)

Here is a cookie that is not only safe for those with food allergies, but you won't break the caloric bank with them either (especially if you don't ice them).  No matter what holiday you celebrate, or if you are just in a mood for a really good sugar cookie, try this one out first.  Here's what you won't get in these cookies! Loads of sugar No egg No butter Here's what you get No guilt holiday Healthier cookie Great taste Makes approximately 18 cookies Ingredients 1/3 cup canola oil ½ cup Florida Natural Crystals 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce 1-cup whole- wheat pastry flour 1-cup unbleached flour 1 TBSP milk of your choice (I use So Delicious Coconut) ½ tsp. baking powder ¼ tsp. salt ¼ tsp. nutmeg 1 ½- tsp. pure vanilla 2-3 drops lemon extract Directions ·          Combine oil, sugar and applesauce.
