Method
 

  1. Mix together in a small bowl the powdered egg substitute and set aside for about 5 minutes before adding to the mixer.
  2. Set the free standing mixer to medium-high speed, beat together the oil, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and the egg substitute until smooth.
  3. Reduce the speed to low, add in the baking soda, baking powder, and add in the flour about 1/2 cup at a time.
  4. Once all the flour is added, blend everything until well combined.
  5. Then cover the bowl and place into the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, or until firm.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  7. Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  8. Next, flour the counter top and the rolling pin, and place half the dough onto the floured counter top.
  9. Then roll the dough to about 1/4th inch thick, cut out the cookies with a round cookie cutter.
  10. Arrange the cookies onto the lined baking sheet, keeping the cookies about 1 inch apart.
  11. Continue until the dough is gone.
  12. Fill both baking sheets and place them into the oven.
  13. Bake for 9 minutes, switch and rotate the baking sheets.
  14. Then return to the oven for another 7 to 9 minutes.
  15. Watch the cookies closely, baking times can vary.
  16. The cookies should have a light brown top with a slightly golden brown edge.
  17. Once the cookies are done, remove from the oven, leaving them to cool on the baking sheets.
Making the frosting and frosting the cookies
  1. After the cookies have completely cooled, it is time to frost.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together on a low speed the powdered sugar, vegan margarine, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Mix the frosting together until well combined and creamy.
  4. Place half of the frosting into a separate bowl, keeping half of the frosting in the mixing bowl.
  5. Add cocoa powder and brewed coffee to the half frosting in the mixing bowl and blend.
  6. Next frost the cookies with half white frosting and half chocolate frosting.
  7. Serve and enjoy your cookies with your favorite hot or cold beverage.
