- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
Vegan Cookie Butter Cookies Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cream the coconut oil, cookie butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the applesauce and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to help them spread evenly
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies may look a bit underdone in the center, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow cookies to cool before adding drizzle
Cookie Butter Drizzle
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the cookie butter for about 15-20 seconds until it becomes slightly more fluid but not too hot.
- Add Milk: Stir in the milk to the warmed cookie butter. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more if needed to achieve your desired consistency
- Adjust Sweetness/Texture: If you want a sweeter drizzle, or if your drizzle seems runny, add in a bit of powdered sugar to adjust.
- Once the mixture is smooth and the consistency is right for drizzling, use a spoon or a small squeeze-top bottle to drizzle over your cooled cookie butter cookies.
