Ingredients
FOR THE VEGAN CHOCOLATE SUGAR COOKIES:
3/4
c
Vegan Margarine
1
c
Sugar
I recommend white sugar for this recipe
1/4
c
Unsweetened Applesauce
1
tsp
Vanilla Extract
1 1/2
c
All Purpose Flour

3/4
c
Cocoa Powder

1
tsp

1/8
tsp

Commercially prepared frosting
(SEE LINK IN BLOG POST)
Instructions
Sift together flour and cocoa powder.
Whisk in salt and baking powder. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine room temperate vegan stick butter and sugar. Cream until well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
Add the applesauce and vanilla.
Now add the flour/cocoa powder mixture in slowly.
Place the mixture between two sheets of parchment paper and roll to about 1/4" thick. Refrigerate for an hour or so.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove the top parchment and proceed to cut your cookies into hearts, some solid and some with the center cut using a smaller heart.
You can re-roll the remaining dough, but I recommend chilling it again while the first batch bakes for best results.
Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes. They will still seem very soft. Set the sheet pan on a cooling rack and let cool completely before handling.
Enjoy 'as is' OR frost and sandwich them as I have here. Vegan sprinkles optional.
This recipe makes about 2 dozen larger cookie cutouts or many more if you use a variety of cutters as I have here today. Enjoy!
