Instructions
Vegan Apple Cookies
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 tablespoon (15 ml) of almond milk with the confectioners’ sugar. Allow the cookies to cool, drizzle the icing over them and serve
