1
Preheat the oven to 325F.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, mix the oil, evaporated cane juice, applesauce, salt, and vanilla until fully combined.
4
Add the flour, flax meal, baking soda, xanthan gum, cinnamon, and nutmeg directly to the wet ingredients, and combine until a dough is formed.

If it crumbles, add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball.
6
Using a melon baller, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the portions 1 inch apart.

Press your thumb into the center of each ball to make an indentation.
8
Bake the cookies on the center rack for 16 minutes, rotating the sheets 180 degrees after 8 minutes.

The finished cookies will be golden and firm to the touch.
10
Let the cookies stand on the sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack and cool completely.

Pour the confectioners sugar into a shallow bowl and roll the cookies through it until completely coated.

Spoon 1 teaspoon plum jam into each indentation.
