CHOLESTEROL FREE, LOW FAT COOKIES W/ ICING
A cholesterol-free cookie w/ virtually no saturated fat (the kind you want to stay away from if trying to manage cholesterol levels) & no margarine, butter or shortening! This recipe originally began as a very sweet vegan pie crust #171844. I thought w/ a few changes, it would be a good iced cookie. I love them! Hope you do too. These are definitely best when iced as the cookie isn't very sweet by itself.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375. Mix all ingredients with a fork. You can put this in the fridge if you're oven isn't ready to go since it's easiest to cut dough when it's still cold.
- Flour surface and roll out dough to about 1/2 inch thick. If you refrigerated the dough & it's cracking as you roll it, more than just on edges, let it warm up for a couple of minutes, then continue.
- Cut with cookie cutters. Place on parchment paper on cookie sheet. Bake immediately for 15 minutes. Don't let them get brown. Brown means over cooked in this case.
- Let cool on cooling racks. When completely cooled, frost with Kittencal's frosting #: 261889 It's so good, just confectioner's sugar, 1 T skim or non dairy milk and 1 T corn syrup to harden the frosting. Let set for 15 minutes before eating.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Beat margarine and sugar until well mixed, adding egg white and vanilla as you go.
- Whisk baking powder, flour, tartar, and salt in another bowl. Mix bit-by-bit into egg mixture, not adding any more if the dough is too thick.
- Knead dough 3-5 times on heavily floured surface until smooth and at your desired consistency.
- Roll dough out on the heavily floured surface with a floured rolling pin, and cut shapes out. Place them on a cookie sheet, covered in parchment paper. (Don't sub the parchment paper for oil, butter, or cooking spray. Bottoms will crisp).
- Bake in oven for 7-10 minutes until tops of cookies have firmed, checking every few minutes to make sure they don't brown (these are best light and soft).
- Take out of oven and place on cooling rack.
- While cooling, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and vanilla until shiny.
- Add food colouring to icing if you wish, and ice the cookies once they have cooled. ENJOY!

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, making them ideal for baking. They also add moisture and help keep the cookies soft.
- Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help them blend evenly into the batter and prevent lumps.
- Add a little bit of cinnamon: Cinnamon is a great way to add some extra flavor to these cookies. Just a teaspoon or two will do the trick.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
Conclusion:
These cholesterol-free, low-fat cookies with icing are a delicious and healthy treat that everyone can enjoy. They are perfect for a snack, dessert, or even breakfast.
