Start by making a flax egg using plant milk and flaxseed meal.

Stir the flaxseed meal into the plant milk and let it thicken.

In a separate bowl, combine more plant milk with yeast and maple syrup, then let it rest until bubbly.

Melt the vegan butter and combine it with the flour in a mixing bowl.

Add the thickened flax egg to the melted butter and flour mixture.

Knead the dough by hand for about 2-3 minutes until it comes together, forming a dough ball.

Spray a dish lightly with cooking spray, place the dough in it, and cover it to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Prepare the nut filling by boiling chopped nuts with plant milk and sugar until thickened.

Prepare the apricot filling by boiling chopped apricots with a little water and sugar until soft, adding lemon peel for flavor.

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a sugared surface into an 8-inch circle.

Cut the circle into 12 wedges and place nut filling on each wedge before rolling them up from the wide end to the point.

Place the rolled cookies on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough and filling.
