Ingredients

- ½ cup shortening, vegan and organic
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 egg substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup apple - McIntosh, Granny Smith & Gala are great but use your favorite, peeled and chopped very fine or grated
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Cinnamon/sugar mixture:
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the cookies:
- With a hand mixer cream the sugar and shortening together for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the prepared egg substitute, vanilla and prepared apple.
- In a separate bowl sift together the flour, salt and baking powder.
- Combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture and just blend.
- Scoop into heaping tablespoons full and roll into balls.

- Place on the parchment-covered baking sheet about 2" apart. Slightly flatten.
