Vegan Lima Chewies

My daughter had a class project to do for school. She needed to reproduce a family recipe and share it with the class. We don't really have a family recipe that has been handed down, especially one that is vegan so we decided to create our own.  We came up with a cookie that tastes pretty damn good. My daughter calls them VEGAN LIMA CHEWIES.

Cookie:
2 1/2 cups flour
1teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups original applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon ground flax seed
1 teaspoon grated lime rind

Sift flour and soda together and set aside. Mix remaining cookie ingredients together and stir in dry flour mixture. Mix well. Drop by teaspoon full on parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake 350 F for 12-15 minutes. Frost while warm  

Frosting:
1Tablespoon applesauce
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime rind
Juice from 3 limes
3 cups powdered sugar

Mix all frosting ingredients together and drop by teaspoon onto warm cookies.

These turned out good. Normally I would not have eaten any but this was a special occasion. The next time I make these I'm going to try adding a mushed re banana into the cookie mixture to see how that affects the cookies texture. A side note the cookies do not spread while baking so make sure they look how you want them to before you put them in the oven.
