Instructions

Prepare the flax egg by mixing ground flaxseed with water in a small bowl; let it sit for about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, cream together room-temperature vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
Stir in maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and flax egg until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice), baking powder, and salt; gradually add to wet ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in chopped pecans.
Portion dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet; roll into balls and coat with extra sugar.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden around the edges.
Cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to wire racks.
