  • Step 1

    INGREDIENTS:
    Cookie Ingredients:
    - 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 5 tbsp water)
    - 1 cup vegan butter, softened
    - 1 cup dark brown sugar
    - 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
    - 1 tsp vanilla extract
    - 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
    - 2 cups all-purpose flour
    - 1 tbsp baking powder
    - 3/4 tsp baking soda
    - 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
    - 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
    - 1/4 tsp ground cloves

    Icing Ingredients:
    - 2 cups powdered sugar
    - 4 tbsp dairy-free milk

  • Step 2

    PREPARATION:
    - Preheat your oven to 350° F.
    - Prep your baking sheet by lightly greasing it or using parchment paper.
    - Make your flax egg by combining the flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Mix it thoroughly, then let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

  • Step 3

    ADD THE WET INGREDIENTS:
    - In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and brown sugar.
    -Mix in the apple cider vinegar, vanilla, and flax egg.
    -In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, flour, baking powder, and spices.

  • Step 4

    ADD THE DRY INGREDIENTS:
    - Add about half of the dry ingredients to the large bowl with the butter and sugar, and use a large spoon to stir until everything is combined.
    - Add the rest of the dry ingredients and combine.

  • Step 5

    ROLL OUT THE COOKIES:
    - Roll out 1-2 inch balls of the dough and place 12 on your baking sheet.
    - Press the dough balls down slightly.

  • Step 6

    BAKE:
    - Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.
    - Remove from the oven and immediately transfer the cookies to a drying rack to cool.
    - Repeat with the rest of the cookie dough.
    - Once all the cookies have all finished baking, let them cool for 30 minutes.

  • Step 7

    ADD THE ICING:
    - Once they cookies have cooled, make the icing by combining the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl.
    - Use a whisk to mix the icing until it is smooth. It will be thick but you should be able to drizzle it.
    - Ice the cookies, then let the icing set for 5-10 minutes before enjoying.

  • Step 8

    TIPS & TRICKS:
    - If you are not a fan of icing, you can still enjoy these cookies plain! I would recommend adding 1/2 cup of granulated white sugar to the dough to make up for the lack of sweetness you get from the icing, or try adding some dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips instead.
    - These store very well in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. They will stay chewy!
