Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoon cloves
- 2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 2 teaspoon allspice
- 1 cup non-hydrogenated vegan margarine
- 1 3/4 cups vegan brown sugar
- 1 cup apple sauce
Directions
I was stuck at a friend's house making treats for
a bake sale, when I decided to modify a simple
vegan sugar cookie recipe into these darlings. They
are soft and spicy and very very easy to make.
Stir together the flour, baking soda, and spices
in a bowl.
Cream the vegan sugar, margarine and applesauce
together in a large bowl, then gradually stir in
the dry ingredients until mixed thoroughly. If
it is too soft to work with, cover and chill in
the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Take out the dough and drop 1 tbs. per cookie
onto 3 or 4 greased cookie sheets. To flatten,
dip the bottom of a vegan wine glass in a saucer of
water, then press down onto each cookie until it
is thin and flat. (make them thicker for softer
cookies, and thinner for crispier ones - both are
good) Remember to re-wet the glass each time.
Note: I'm pretty sure you could roll these out
and cut them with cookie cutters instead, but
I've never tried it myself.
Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are
browned.
