Vegan Maple Sugar Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, and coconut oil to a large bowl and beat with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and combined. Add apple sauce and mix until combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and baking powder, and whisk until there are no clumps and everything is combined.

Step 4

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients, mixing as you go. Once combined, mix in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt.

Step 5

Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form the dough into 1-inch diameter balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn a light golden color. They'll set up more as they cool, so when in doubt, take them out earlier rather than later.

Step 6

Add the glaze ingredients to a bowl and mix until combined. Once the cookies have fully cooled, drizzle them with the glaze. Enjoy!
