The soy flour (along with other soy products) is considered as a health or lifestyle food, and can be readily available in various supermarkets and organic foods stores. There are 2 different types of soy flour available―one is regular flour which is filled with fat, and the other is called de-fatted flour as the oil in it has already been kept out at the time of processing.

Soy Lemon Cookies
Ingredients
- Soy flour, 1 cup
- Splenda, ⅓ cup
- Water, 4 tablespoons
- Oil, 3 tablespoons
- Baking powder, 2 teaspoons
- Lemon extract, ½ teaspoon
- Salt, ¼ teaspoon
Directions
Preheat the oven at 325ºF. Take a bowl to mix oil and Splenda together. Next add the lemon extract and stir properly. In another bowl, you will sift flour, salt, and baking soda together. Add the first bowl’s liquid mixture in with the flour and mix thoroughly. In the end, add water to make a dough-like consistency. Once you have the dough ready, grease the cookie sheet and use a fork to place the cookies on it. Place in the oven for 15 minutes to bake completely. Remove from the oven, let them sit on the cookie rack for few minutes, and dig in.
Soy Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour, 1½ cups
- Brown sugar, 1¼ cups
- Vegetable shortening, ½ cup
- Salted soy nuts, roasted, ½ cup
- Soy flour, ¼ cup
- Soy nut butter, ¾ cup
- Soy milk, 3 tablespoons
- Vanilla, 1 tablespoon
- Salt, ¾ teaspoon
- Baking soda, ¾ teaspoon
- Egg, beaten, 1
Directions
Preheat the oven at 375ºF. In a bowl, mix shortening, brown sugar, vanilla, soy milk, and soy nut butter together. Use an electric blend to mix the ingredients properly and in the end, add the egg. Blend once more and slowly, add flour, baking soda, and salt in the bowl. Once you get a dough-like consistency, use a spoon to spread it on a baking sheet. It’s alright if you don’t grease the sheet. Press soy nuts on top of the cookie dough and place in the oven to bake for 8―10 minutes or till the cookies turn brown. Remove from the oven, let it sit on a cookie rack for few minutes, and serve immediately.
