Christmas Cookies: Snickerdoodles

2.5 cups flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup vegan butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 Tbsp sugar (for rolling)
4 tsp cinnamon (for rolling)

Preheat oven to 375 F and line a few baking pans with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, cream together vegan butter and sugar until creamy and well-combined.
Add in applesauce and vanilla extract and continue to mix until combined.
Slowly mix in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cream of tarter, baking soda and salt until a thick cookie dough forms.
Cover dough with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to cool for 20 minutes.

Let cookie cool a bit on a cooling rack and enjoy!
