How to Prepare Coconut Oatmeal Cookies with Coconut Glaze [Vegan]

To make the cookies, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together the Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread, brown sugar, applesauce, vanilla extract and sea salt until all ingredients are combined.
Add the coconut and sunflower seeds to the mixture and stir.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until all ingredients combine to form a thick batter.
Spoon the batter onto the baking sheets, leaving approximately two inches of space between each cookie. The dough won't spread out much when baking, so go ahead and press down on the dough a bit if you want a flatter cookie in the end.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the tops of the cookies begin to brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the coconut milk, vanilla extract and confectioners' sugar.
Drizzle or brush the glaze over top of the cookies and enjoy!
