These delicious apple pie sugar cookies merge two amazing holiday classics into 20 scrumptious golden cookies. The sugar cookie texture is buttery, sweet, moist, and chewy. They’re golden on the outside, and soft on the inside.

Preheat oven to 425. In a small bowl, prepare the flax eggs by mixing the flax seed meal and warm water. Set aside. A gel will form.
Prepare the apples by bringing a small saucepan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Once warm, add the peeled and sliced apples and season with cinnamon. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix the melted vegan butter, sugar, flax eggs, almond milk, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour and mix until a cookie dough forms. Fold in the apples.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use your hands to roll about a tablespoon each of cookie dough into balls. Place onto the cookie sheet about 1 ½ inch apart. You should have about 20 cookies.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are golden on the edges. While the cookies are baking, make the icing by using a whisk or electric mixer to mix 1 tbsp (15 ml) of almond milk with the confectioners’ sugar. Allow the cookies to cool, drizzle the icing over them and serve

Posted on: November 28, 2020Hi. Can I use honey instead of sugar?

Posted on: November 28, 2020It will change the texture. If you’re looking for an alternative to cane sugar, I’d try coconut sugar.

Posted on: November 28, 2020What’s the least amount of sugar you think I could use and these still taste edible? I’m wanting to make a cookie for our 18 month old and we don’t add sugar to any of her foods. Thank you!
