Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic peanut butter creamy or crunchy
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
  • cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • cup coconut sugar plus extra to roll in the dough
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Combine wet ingredients in your bowl (peanut butter, vanilla extract, applesauce, and almond milk). If peanut butter is thick and not easy to combine, warm it in the microwave for 30 seconds or until it softens. You can also add 1 tablespoon of almond butter to help make it smoother.
  • Add almond flour, baking soda, and coconut sugar to the bowl. Stir with spatula until combined.
  • Scoop a tablespoon amount of dough and roll into a ball. If you choose, you can roll the balls in coconut sugar. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
  • When all the balls are rolled out gently press down to flatten with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
  • Bake at 350 F for 8 minutes. Take out and allow to cool completely for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet.
  • Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Depending on the consistency of your peanut butter, the dough could be crumbly.
  • If your peanut butter is on the drier end, and your dough will not stick together, add 1 tablespoon of almond milk at a time until dough easily rolls into balls.
  • Use a fork to press dough down making a crisscross pattern prior to putting the cookies in the oven.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
  • Cookies will last for up to 3 days.
