I'd be happy to try to veganise to the recipe you already use since it's something you're familiar with if you want to drop me an email at kip (at) messyvegetariancook.com - if I have the ingredients I will have a bash at the recipe myself.

In theory it should work, but I don't know if it would affect the taste too much? These are basically like a shortbread, and without the real butter there is a difference in flavour (but still tastes very good).

Any reason why they wouldn't turn out well with whole wheat pastry flour? Have you ever tried with even less sugar, and what was the result? I can't get vegan margarine here, either, so assume shortening will be OK. Lots of assumptions--will have to report back later.<br>By the way, I lamented not being able to eat macaroons, after converting to vegan diet, too. There is a link to a recipe for Vegan Date Macaroons on my site. Although not as good as the original, they're made only with dates/banana and coconut, and very delicious.<br>Regards Hi, it's William again.
