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.
