Yield: 4 dozen cookies
Ingredients: 2 3/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour; 1/2 tsp baking powder; 1 tsp baking soda; 1/4 tsp sea salt; 1 cup vegan butter or margarine or transfat-free shortening or coconut oil. (The coconut oil is a healthier option but it will add some flavor to the cookies, which I don't love in this recipe, but if you don't mind it, go for it.); 1 1/2 cups cane or turbinado sugar; 1/4 cup applesauce; 1/4 cup non-dairy milk; 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar; 1 tsp cardamom powder; 1 tsp pure vanilla extract; 1 cup raw cashew pieces; 1/2 cup mango puree; 1 cup powdered sugar; 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
