Yum! These were quite delicious and easy to make. The recipe calls for a 1/4 cup of applesauce and of course, I didn’t have any. We’re not big applesauce eaters here and I knew that any leftovers would turn different shades of green and white, so I opted to make my own. I just chopped up 1/2 a Granny Smith — skins and all — and threw it into the food processor with a 1/4 cup of water and a teaspoon of sugar. Worked beautifully! Also, the recipe calls for flax meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water, yet strangely never mentions it again. I nearly forgot to add it! So I figured the best time to do so was when adding the applesauce and vanilla. Seemed to be the perfect time. The lemon-flavored icing was the perfect accompaniment to these cookies!
