I have a customer who's child has an egg allergy. I plan on using a egg-replacer for the cookies provided by the customer. What do I do about the RI? Do they make an egg white replacer?

TIA, MessyBaker

Hi,
I found this link. Maybe it'll help you. If you are not doing any intricate design on the cookie, maybe you can getaway with cookie frosting or glaze. There is one very good one on allrecipes.

And here is the link to someone who has actually tried the above recipe and posted pictures on her blog.

HTH,

I heard this icing is very good and dries hard enough not to smudge and you can stack the cookies. And it contains no eggs:

At the Bulk barn, if you have one near you, the sell a pre-mixed royal icing thats made with just icing sugar and soy protien...might be an option. I use it all the time and it's great... Good luck!

Thanks

Thanks SOOOO MUCH!

This is exactly the info I needed! I think I will try both recipes and see which one I like best.
