Recipe Note

These vegan cookies are amazing. Share these with friends before telling them they're vegan, they're sure to be surprised. I used Earth Balance® butter spread if you happen to be unsure if the substitute you use is vegan. I also made the applesauce myself because its simple, and because you can control the sweetness. I personally always use whole wheat or white whole wheat flour when I bake, and I love to add flaxseed meal in everything I can. It just makes everything taste better, and adds plenty of fiber and protein to delicious baked goods. (If you insist, you can use butter.)
