• 1 cup margarine
• 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 4 tbsp soy milk whipped with 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 cups unbleached white flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp tapioca starch or cornstarch

• 2 tbsp cinnamon
• 4 tbsp granulated white sugar
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)

Preheat your oven to 300 F (edit: or slightly over, then reduce heat when the cookies go in starts)

In a large bowl, cream the margarine and sugar together until smooth. Add the vanilla, and the cornstarch/soymilk mixture, and beat until well-mixed.

In a smaller bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and tapioca/corn starch. Stir this into the wet ingredients and combine well.

In a very small bowl stir together the granulated sugar, cinnamon and cocoa powder (if desired).

Begin rolling the cookie dough into balls of about 3 tbsp each. Roll each ball in the cinnamon + sugar + cocoa powder mixture until completely coated and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Continue until all the dough is used up. Using the bottom of a glass, press down on each ball until they are about an inch thick. Bake for 12 – 14 minutes, and no more. The cookies should still seem very soft when you remove them from the oven. Let cool on the pans for about 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire baking rack and let cool completely.

Makes about 30 cookies if you are optimistic ?
