Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- ½ cup cold Vegan butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour, gluten free 1 to 1 or all purpose
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
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.
