Vegan Snickerdoodles

Okay another vegan recipe!
This comes from when I was in high school and I have recently rediscovered it.
I got it from Janae who, i believe got it from Becca so I can't exactly source this recipe but I can definitely share it with you!!!

These are for sure the moistest cookies ever. I thought they would taste like my vegan apple cinnamon cookies, but they are a completely different texture and not as sweet but equally as lovable.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup oil
1 tbsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. maple syrup
egg replacer equivalent of 1 egg- i use about a half cup of applesauce or half a banana
cinnamon and sugar (to coat)

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the wet ingredients and stir wet into dry. Using your hands form the dough into a big ball. (if it sticks together well, then its the right consistency, if not, add a bit of water and mix it well.) Form the dough into cookie-sized balls and roll them into the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each ball a little bit (I didn't do this, but my dough was soft enough that it flatten itself a little). Bake at 375 degrees for about 6-7 minutes.

I used a little less oil and a little less than a half cup applesauce and they were still gooey when i tried to form the balls. I couldn't count them because everyone at them as soon as they came out of the oven, but I think its like 2 dozen.

Gourmet dinner, my treat

my mom was working today, so my dad had the good idea to cook dinner for my mom, but somehow this turned into me cooking dinner. it was a lot of hard work.



this recipe was VERY poorly written so i don't really recommend using it. and i don't recommend grilling artichoke, it became inedible and i had to throw it out.
