Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

I found this recipe back in my college nanny days when my charge was allergic to all dairy. We gobbled these up each time they were made. You don't miss the butter or eggs at all!

Ingredients

• 1 (10 1/2ounce) package  of firm organic tofu

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375. Lightly coat a baking sheet with canola oil or line with non-stick baking mat.
