Vegan Brown Sugar Buttons

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cloves.
2. In a small bowl, combine flax and water, and let sit 5 minutes. In another bowl, combine brown sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla. Using a spoon or spatula to combine, add flax mixture and dry mixture to wet mixture. 
3. Roll dough into 2-tablespoon balls, and place on prepared baking sheet, at least 1½ inches apart to allow room for them to spread. Press dough down slightly and bake 12 minutes. Let cool completely before preparing the icing.
4. For the icing, into a bowl, combine all ingredients. Heat in microwave for 45 seconds to melt the sugars. 
5. Once cookies are baked and cooled, ice top of cookies and spread to edges. Icing will harden to a soft crunch.
