1 tablespoon 15mlEner-G Egg Replacer
1/2 cup 99g / 3.5ozUnbleached cane sugar - plus
  Additional for rolling out dough
1/4 cup 27g / 1ozCocoa powder
3/4 cup 148g / 5.2ozSpectrum Spread non-hydrogenated margarine - divided
1/4 cup 23g / 0.8ozShredded coconut
1/4 cup 36g / 1.3ozWalnuts or hazelnuts - finely chopped
2 teaspoons 10mlVanilla - divided
1 1/2 cups 93g / 3.3ozUnbleached flour
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlSalt
3 tablespoons 45mlWater or soy milk

Recipe Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons water and egg replacer, and whisk vigorously for 1 minute or until very frothy (almost like beaten egg whites). Add the sugar, cocoa powder, 1/4 cup Spectrum Spread, coconut, chopped nuts, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir well to combine, and set aside.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or a fork, cut in the remaining Spectrum Spread into the flour mixture, and work it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Drizzle the flour mixture with the remaining 3 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon vanilla, and mix well to form a soft dough.

Lightly oil (or spray with a light mist of oil) two non-stick cookie sheets and set aside.

Sprinkle a work surface with a little sugar to prevent the dough from sticking. Divide the dough in half and cover the remainder with a towel to prevent it from drying out, and set it aside. Work with one half of the dough at a time. On the sugared surface, roll out the dough to 1/16-inch thickness, and cut it into 2 1/2-inch squares.

To assemble each of the pastries: Place 1 teaspoonful of the filling in the center of each square, fold each of the corners of the square up to the center, and gently press them together to partially seal in the filling. Using a spatula, transfer the pastries to the prepared cookie sheets with the sealed seam-side up.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Allow the pastries to cool on the cookie sheets for several minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.

When completely cooled, transfer to an airtight container for storage, and place waxed paper between the layers of pastries.

This recipe yields 28 to 30 pieces.
