Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups vegan buttery spread
  • 1 cup organic cane sugar
  • ¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 3 cups Glutino All Purpose Flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • ½ cup currants

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the Glutino All Purpose Flour, salt, and lemon zest. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the vegan buttery spread and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the unsweetened applesauce and mix until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients a little at a time while mixing on low speed. Once everything is mixed well, turn off the mixer and add the currants and stir by hand.
  • Pat the dough into two discs and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for two hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle more Glutino All Purpose Flour on a waxed paper lined surface, and on a rolling pin. Take one of the discs out of the refrigerator and roll it out to about a ¼ inch thickness.
  • Cut out round shapes with a two inch fluted cookie cutter. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden brown on the edges.
  • Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container.
