Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe
vegan, plant-based, refined sugar-free

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup Peanut butter (ensure only peanuts are on the ingredient list or just peanuts and salt)
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 1/2 cup Maple syrup or honey
• 2 Tbsp Natural applesauce (no sugar on the ingredient list)
• 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of Salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add all ingredients to a large bowl and stir well to combine.
3. If the dough is too moist you can add 1/2-1 Tbsp whole wheat flour to stiffen it up.
4. Once the ingredients are well combined, wet your hands and form a ball using about 1 Tbsp of dough. Then place on the baking sheet.
5. Use a fork to press down the dough in a crisscross pattern (keep the tongs moist to help stop the dough from sticking). Alternatively, you can just press them flat with a moistened hand.
6. Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and let cool. They will look a little underdone, but will firm up as they cool.
