These vegan soft cinnamon cookies are perfectly spiced and topped with a decadent maple pecan frosting. They're a delicious treat that everyone will love, whether they follow a vegan diet or not.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup chopped pecans. 1 cup powdered sugar. 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup. 2 tablespoons non-dairy milk.

Instructions: Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C. Put parchment paper on the bottom of a baking sheet. Mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a medium-sized bowl using a whisk. Mix the vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Mix the applesauce and vanilla extract into the butter mixture until everything is well mixed together. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a dough forms. Add the chopped pecans and mix them in. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto the baking sheet in round tablespoons, leaving about 2 inches between each one. After the oven is hot, bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. Make the maple pecan frosting while the cookies cool. Mix the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and non-dairy milk in a small bowl with a whisk until the mixture is smooth. Put the frosting on top of the cookies after they have cooled all the way down. Wait until the frosting is set before you serve it. Have fun!
