==Ingredients==
* 1½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
* ¾ cup whole wheat flour
* 1 tsp baking powder

==Directions==
# In medium bowl, combine both flours, baking powder and salt.
# Set aside.
# In food processor, process tofu until smooth.
# Add egg, sugar, oil and vanilla; process until smooth, stopping once or twice to scrape down sides of work bowl.
# Add flour mixture and pulse on/off several times just until dough clumps together.
# Transfer to lightly floured surface and knead several times.
# Divide dough in half and press each piece into shape of a disk.
# Dust each with flour and wrap in plastic wrap.
# Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
# Preheat oven to 350°F.
# Line several baking sheets with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
# Working with 1 disk at a time, on lightly floured surface, roll out dough to ⅛ inch thickness.
# Using cookie cutter, cut out shapes.
# Place cookies about ½ inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
# Gather scraps, re-roll and cut.
# Bake cookies, one sheet at a time, until light golden around edges, 10 to 15 minutes.
# Transfer cookies to wire rack and cool completely (cookies will keep in airtight container for up to 1 week). 
# Decorate with Royal Icing or No-egg Icing. Let stand until icing has hardened, 30 to 45 minutes.
