Mix applesauce and baking soda together and add to the last three ingredients.

Make small balls and flatten with fork. If dough is too sticky add a little more shredded coconut to mix.

Bake at 350 until bottoms are brown. (Times vary with different ovens).

This amount of ingredients will make a small batch of cookies. Double the recipe for more.

Add different ingredients to change the taste up…a little vanilla, cinnamon, or my kids favorite….cocoa powder.

These are also good as a “no bake” dessert. Omit the baking soda, roll the dough in really small balls and roll in shredded coconut. Place in the fridge and now you have a no bake dessert that is so wonderful.
