Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Cinnamon Sugar Balls

My husband and girls love cinnamon so we decided to try something new. They loved these little balls of cinnamon dough covered in cinnamon sugar. The insides stayed a little doughy and soft while the outside was a little crunchy.

Cinnamon Sugar Balls

1 cup dairy free margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon for rolling

Use an electric mixer to cream the margarine and sugar. Add the applesauce, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla and beat again. Add the flour then mix until thoroughly combined. Roll the dough into 1" balls then place them 1" apart on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Bake at 300 for 25-30 minutes or until the bottoms are browned and the cookies are set. Immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
