So I was thinking it was time for some food around here since it’s been quite a while, and what better food to share than autumn-themed goodies? I also have some pumpkin muffins coming up, and some pumpkin cookies, and maybe even some pumpkin french toast. Even though I’m a sucker for pumpkin, I will try to do some other flavors other than just pumpkin! Mmm, my stomach is growling already. Enjoy!
What You Need
For The Cookies
☑ 1/4 cup vegan butter
☑ 1 cup apple cider
☑ 1/3 cup canola oil
☑ 3/4 cup brown sugar
☑ 2 cups pastry flour
☑ 3/4 tsp baking powder
☑ 1/8 tsp salt
☑ 2 tsp cinnamon
☑ 1/4 tsp ginger
☑ 1/4 tsp cloves
☑ 1/4 tsp nutmeg
For The Glaze
☑ 3 Tbsp brown sugar
☑ 4 Tbsp apple cider
☑ 1 cup powdered sugar
☑ 1/2 tsp cinnamon
What You Do
1.) Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet. In a small bowl mix together the icing ingredients and stir until powdered (icing/confectioner’s) sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
2.) In another medium to large sized bowl, add all your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger) and stir until well combined.
3.) And your wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Put a small dollop of the batter on your cookie sheet, maybe a spoonful.
4.) Bake 10-15 minutes at 350°F or until golden brown. (You want them hard but not too hard!)
5.) After they have cooled (5 minutes), return to the icing and give it a slight stir if there’s any settling sediment, but you might not need to. It should be fairly thick though. You have two options now, you can dip them completely, allow them to cool, then dip them again and they will be completely covered in icing. This is too sweet for Tom and I, so I just lightly drizzled each cookie with the icing mix only once over giving it a very gentle glaze. I had lots of icing left over though so if you want to do it this way you might want to consider cutting the icing in half. You could also skip the icing bit all together, the cookies still taste distinctly like apple cider. Don’t believe me, TRY ONE! (Psst, I did! :))
ENJOY!

29 Oct 2011 at 5:30 pmOoops! Sorry for the repeat post! I wasn’t expecting mine to appear at the top of the comments. That was FAST! Thanks so much for your help! =)
Sara
29 Oct 2011 at 5:35 pmThat’s okay, I’m just glad to hear they were still tasty! I would try those tricks and see if they help! xoxo
Kristi
29 Oct 2011 at 5:29 pmI am wondering if anyone experienced the same thing as I did. They are incredibly delicious, but the batter was really thin. Is it supposed to be? Mine don’t look like your wonderful picture. =/
Kristi
29 Oct 2011 at 5:19 pmI’m in the process of making these right now (they’re in the oven), but I’m wondering if I did something wrong. The batter is very thin. Did this happen to anyone else? They smell incredible, but mine look super-flat and yours don’t! =/
Sara
29 Oct 2011 at 5:29 pmHey Kristi,
I wouldn’t panic because mine did turn out flatter than say usual cookies, but not too flat. (And they were still crunchy delicious.) But if yours are super flat there could be a few things happening to cause that-
The batter might be over-mixed. A few lumps of flour is okay when you’re mixing it up. But the longer you spend stirring it, the less it will rise.
If you didn’t over-mix it, try adding the baking powder at the very end. Make sure that the oven is preheated and ready for you to spoon the mix into the pan right away when you combine all the ingredients. The baking powder starts reacting with the wet ingredients right away so the longer it sits on the counter waiting to go in the oven the less they’ll rise!
If THAT doesn’t work, check the expiration date on the baking soda and make sure it isn’t expired.
I’m sorry that they came out flat. I hope that they still taste good, though!! (And I hope this helps.)
Sara
29 Oct 2011 at 5:31 pmOh, and the only other thing I would suggest is just make sure that you adjust the baking time. You may have to cook them shorter/longer depending on the batter, we wouldn’t want them to be soggy!!
If you can stick a toothpick through and it comes out clean (and they are golden brown) they’re done!

13 Oct 2011 at 7:36 amHad to make quite a few substitutions and inadvertently turned the glaze into icing, but still turned out delicious ^_^
Added some diced apple to half the cookies and they were really good too.
Cheers Sar!

They’re soft and chewy, so my older neighbours love ’em.
Sarah
6 Oct 2011 at 8:36 amThese look absolutely delicious! I’m going to have to try this recipe. I love all things apple and pumpkin in the fall. Wait, no. At all times of the year, actually. : )
Sara
6 Oct 2011 at 10:46 amI try (sometimes futilely) to avoid overloading on pumpkin in the “off seasons”. I go crazy it in the autumn and most of December, but then I try to cut myself off so that I get just as excited next fall. =)

6 Oct 2011 at 1:55 amwhat do i do if I can’t get apple cider? live in australia and we don’t have it…
Sara
6 Oct 2011 at 10:44 amWhaaaaat? =(
I seriously thought you were pulling my leg for a second so I had to Google it. It seems like they only make hard cider- bummer! Have no fear though, if you are up for it you can make your own:

Also, I imagine you could replace the cider with another flavorful liquid (or omit it and replace it with something else). I’ll have to think on that, test it and get back to you. =)

5 Oct 2011 at 7:47 pmYum! I always find it strange to use pumpkin in sweet food, though you may find it strange to eat as savoury! I’m curious though so I may just have to try some pumpkin muffins or something to see how it goes.
Sara
6 Oct 2011 at 10:45 amOh, one of my favorite dishes is a pumpkin rotini, very savory. I’m just a sucker for all things pumpkin. =)
I hope you like them when you do try them.
Alyssa
5 Oct 2011 at 6:27 pmThese look fantastic! Thanks for the recipe Sara–I’ll definitely be trying them soon!
christina
5 Oct 2011 at 3:41 pmOh, I must give these a try! I just made pumpkin-chocolate-chip muffins this morning,and they’re delicious, but I must admit to loving apple-y flavored things more. : ) (Hello, btw! I found you from following a Pinterest pin of your gibson tuck tutorial and have been following your charming blog surreptitiously [as in no comments] for a little while.)
Sara
5 Oct 2011 at 5:52 pmWell HI CHRISTINA and thanks for visiting! (That’s an enthusiastic hello, I swear I’m not yelling at you.) I’m a sucker for pumpkin over apple- but Tom is in the same boat as you with his love for apple-y things. Enjoy!
sarah
5 Oct 2011 at 2:56 pmwell, i’ll definitely be giving these a try…they sound absolutely delicious!
Sara
5 Oct 2011 at 5:50 pmThanks, Sarah! I hope you like them. =)
Lauren
5 Oct 2011 at 1:56 pmThis look and sound delish! I wonder if it would work with regular butter, as I have no idea what vegan butter is???
Sara
5 Oct 2011 at 2:00 pmYes, it should work with regular butter/margarine. Vegan butter is something like Earth Balance or Becel Vegan, which is healthier for you and free of any animal products or proteins.
Lauren
5 Oct 2011 at 5:21 pmI wonder what it tastes like… the vegan butter… I may have to give it a try! I wonder if I can get it at a local grocery store, or if I’ll need to go to a speciality shop.
Sara
5 Oct 2011 at 5:49 pmTo be honest Tom and I didn’t really notice a difference, but when we switched we were using margarine anyway. You should be able to pick up Earth Balance at your local grocery store- either in the organics section or right near the regular butter. I think Becel Vegan is only Canadian. =)

Sara
5 Oct 2011 at 5:50 pmOh gosh, me too! Any excuse to eat entire batches of pumpkin related goodies sounds good to me!
Mal
5 Oct 2011 at 11:21 amThese look wonderful, I love cider, I’ll have to give these a try!
Sara
