I was thinking that Greek style coconut yogurt might work and also since I'll probably halve the recipe anyway maybe just some plain applesauce or egg replacer as you say. I also want to comment on what a wonderful person you are to go to so much extra trouble for your son's friend. I'm sure it meant the world to him and his mom as well.laurelvbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689753986755477911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531475183198933347.post-51177185428447996822011-09-09T11:31:53.695-07:002011-09-09T11:31:53.695-07:00@ laurelvb: Thank you for pointing it out.

I was not aware that soy is an allergen, mostly because I (being naive as always) have not encountered anybody with such allergy :) As the matter of fact, nobody in my family is allergic to nuts, dairy and gluten. I was determined to make those cookies for one of my son's good friends who's severely allergic to those (but not soy).<br /><br />As a replacement for tofu, you can use what's called 'egg replacer' (Ener-G brand) that's also gluten & dairy free. For the recipe, you might only need about 1 tablespoon, mix with 2 tablespoons of water until foamy.<br />Depending on the recipe, you might want to add about 1/2 teaspoon of Xanthan gum, but for this particular recipe, you might not need it since it already has tapioca starch that should work as the binding agent.<br /><br />Hope this helps and good luck :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121695557893574539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531475183198933347.post-66376556858865700642011-09-09T11:22:12.891-07:002011-09-09T11:22:12.891-07:00@ Tres Delicious, you're most welcome :)@ Tres Delicious, you're most welcome :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121695557893574539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531475183198933347.post-69697440097249094992011-09-09T08:36:09.317-07:002011-09-09T08:36:09.317-07:00I was on my way to make these cookies when I saw t...I was on my way to make these cookies when I saw the dreaded TOFU. Man they look sooo good! Gluten, egg, dairy and nut free they may be but not allergen free. Soy is one of the top 8 allergens. Rats. So, what do I use instead of tofu? Darn. I WANT one of those cookies.<br />I'll let you know if I figure it out.laurelvbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689753986755477911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8531475183198933347.post-90042669045288172712011-09-09T00:54:47.076-07:002011-09-09T00:54:47.076-07:00I've never tasted lemon cookies before, sounds...I've never tasted lemon cookies before, sounds delicious. looking forward to try it.
