Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Vegan butter (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Coconut cream (chilled)
• 2 drops Pink food coloring (natural or artificial)
• 0.25 cup Sprinkles (dairy-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened vegan butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to create a flat cookie shape.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the pink frosting. In a mixing bowl, whisk the powdered sugar and chilled coconut cream until smooth and creamy. Add the pink food coloring and mix until evenly colored.

Step 10

Frost the cooled cookies with the pink frosting, using a butter knife or offset spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 11

Sprinkle the dairy-free sprinkles over the frosted cookies before the frosting sets.

Step 12

Let the frosting set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
