Ingredients

Cookie Dough

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, make cinnamon sugar coating. Mix sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold Vegan butter and granulated sugar. Mix on high until no clumps of butter remain, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Then, add in applesauce and vanilla. Stir to combine.
  • Add in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Stir to combine.
  • Use ice cream scoop to scoop balls of dough. Place each ball of dough into cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll around until fully coated. Then place on baking pan.
  • Repeat for all cookie dough.
  • Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. For thinner cookies, lightly tap cookie sheet against countertop a few times.
  • Finally, allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Use cold Vegan butter right from the fridge.  Beat Vegan butter and sugar until no clumps of butter remain.  This usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour work well.
  • These cookies do not spread much while baking.  If desired, tap pan against countertop several times for thinner cookies.
  • These cookies are soft and fragile when they first come out of the oven.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
