Directions

• For the Cookies:
• Preheat your oven to 350F. (175C)
• Mix your ground flax and water in a bowl and mix. Allows to sit for about 10-15 minutes to thicken.
• Using a stand mixer, mix your Earth Balance and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
• Add your flax/ water combo and vanilla and beat until incorporated.
• Mix in the applesauce.
• In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon. Add it to the the wet ingredients and mix until blended.
• Drop by the spoonful onto a stone cookie sheet or a parchment lined cookie tray. You should have about 18-20 cookies.
• Bake for about 13 minutes until lightly browned around the edges.
• Meanwhile make the spice glaze:
• Combine the icing sugar and cinnamon and mix well.
• Add your warm water and stir until no lumps or dry spots remain.
• When the cookies are done remove them to a cooling rack and allow to cool for a couple of minutes.
• While still warm paint the surface of each cookie with the spiced glaze using a pastry brush.
• Once the cookies have completely cooled, store them in an airtight container. If not consuming the same day, store any remaining cookies in the fridge.
