Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or leave it ungreased.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the Earth Balance whipped spread and both sugars until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

In a separate small bowl, prepare the Ener-G egg substitute according to package instructions. Once ready, add the egg replacement and vanilla extract into the sugary mixture. Continue mixing until the batter becomes light and fluffy.
4
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to ensure an even mix.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be cautious not to over mix, as this will keep your cookies soft.

Using a heaping tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
