Vegan Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies


What desserts are you serving this Thanksliving?  I like an assortment of cake and brownies, plus I will definitely be serving these scrummy Apple Oatmeal Cookies.  These cookies are sweet from the applesauce, spicey from the cinnamon, and hearty from the oats.

If you like you can add raisins, cranberries, or better yet, chocolate chips!

Ingredients for cookie dough:

6 T vegan butter, melted
1 cup organic brown sugar
1/2 cup organic pure cane sugar 
1 organic flaxseed egg
1/2 cup organic applesauce 
1 1/2 cups organic quick oats
1 1/4 cup organic unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 t baking soda
1/2 t non-gmo, non-aluminum baking powder
1/4 t sea salt

Ingredients for icing:

1 1/2 cups organic confectioners sugar
3 t water

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Line 2 large baking sheets with unbleached parchment paper.

Beat the butter and sugars in the bowl of your stand mixer, using the paddle attachment.

Mix on low speed until thoroughly combined.  Add flaxseed egg, applesauce, oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.

Using a medium sized ice cream scoop, drop dough onto the parchment lined baking sheets.  Bake 12-14 minutes.  Cool cookies on a wire rack.

Meanwhile make the icing.  Put sugar and water into a small bowl and whisk together until smooth and thick.

Drizzle icing over cooked cookies.  Store cookies in a container with a tight lid.
