A recipe from scratch;
½ cup peanut butter or another nut butter
¾ tsp baking soda
3 T whole-wheat pastry flour (or white or a gf mix)
¼ cup sugar (
2 T brown sugar
2 T applesauce
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Mix dry ingredients very well. Then add wet and form cookie balls. If you want soft cookies, fridge the dough for at least an hour. Then bake in a preheated oven (350F) for 8 minutes. They’ll look underdone when you take them out, but that’s ok. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from tray.
To keep them soft, store leftover cookies in a plastic container. This recipe will make about 15–22 cookies, depending on how big you roll them. (For 22 cookies, they’ll have 50 calories per cookie.)
