Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the applesauce, plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dollops of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into rounds. Leave space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting by whisking together the powdered sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add more milk if needed to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
-
Divide the frosting into separate bowls and add food coloring of your choice to each, if desired. Mix well until the desired color is achieved.
-
Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on top of each cookie and decorate with vegan sprinkles.
-
Allow the frosting to set before serving and enjoy your homemade Vegane Amerikaner with a cup of hot tea or coffee.
