Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (113g) vegan butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (55g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. Beat the vegan butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the applesauce and vanilla.
  2. Add the flour, cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until a soft dough forms.
  3. Mix the remaining 2 tbsp sugar and the cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, coat in cinnamon sugar, and place on the sheet. Flatten each slightly.
  4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or cooled completely.

Notes

If your kitchen is warm and the dough feels sticky, chill it for 30 minutes before scooping. The cookies will spread less and have a slightly thicker center.
