Cookies:

2 1/2 cups of unbleached flour
1/3 cup of unsweetened vegan cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Steps

Preheat the oven to 350.
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a small mixing bowl.
Blend the wet ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture to form the cookie dough.
Make 2 inch balls and bake them on an ungreased cookie sheet for 7-9 minutes.
Let them cool on a wire rack while you prepare the glaze.
To make the glaze combine the maple syrup apple cider vinegar salt cocoa and water in a small saucepan.
Bring it to a bubble over medium heat.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and peppermint extract.
Drizzle over the cooled cookies while it's still warm.
Quickly sprinkle them with vegan crushed peppermints.
Allow the cookies to sit for 5 - 10 minutes until the frosting solidifies.
